A 22-year-old university undergraduate who had allegedly posted his Facebook supporting the idea that all policemen be killed, was today arrested by the police upon his arrival at the Kuala Lumpur police headquarters.
Khalid Ismath in his Facebook posting earlier this week said, “I would agree if all the policemen be killed, because of the way they have treated the rakyat (during Bersih 3.0).
“So every time we hold demonstration, there is no more need to negotiate with the police again. We will fight on.”

Critics have noted unprecedented violence against protestors at the Bersih 3.0 rally last Saturday, that saw numerous reports of police brutality that the authorities are denying.
The student was summoned to the police station to have his statement taken, and was accompanied by his parents, close kin, and student activists.
Khalid (left) was duly arrested upon arrival at 10am, to protests from his lawyer.
According to his father Ismath Mohd Habib, the police who came to their house in Klang yesterday did not mention any intention to arrest Khalid.
"My son is not a mat rempit or a criminal. What basis do they have for arresting him?" he said.
Khalid's sister Anisa Ismath meanwhile claimed that Khalid's Facebook account had been hacked.
"We the family members did not know about this posting. The account must have been hijacked by someone," she said.
Khalid was held over an hour and then transferred to Cheras district headquarters at 11.30am for further investigation.
