Ambiga thanks DBKL and cops for keeping watch

Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan expressed thanks to the police and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL), whose officers had painted over the stall lots marked outside her home by anti-Bersih protesters, and had remained there since.

“To their credit, they (DBKL) have been here non-stop, and so have the police. So I am grateful to them for providing this level of protection,” she said.

She reiterated that she would like to return the public attention to Bersih’s calls for clean and fair elections, and urged those with grievances against her to take the matter to court.

She said this when visited by Pakatan Rakyat representatives at her Bukit Damansara home today, which had been the site of several protests over the past two weeks against the pro-electoral reform rally.

Most recently, the Kuala Lumpur Petty Traders Action Council claimed to have suffered losses due to the rally and painted stall lots in front of her home and sold them, as a sign of protest.

The yellow markings had been covered over with black paint by DBKL on the same day at about 11pm.
