Ambiga denies losing control of Bersih 3.0 crowd


Bersih co-chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan has denied she lost control of the crowd during the April 28 Bersih 3.0 rally, putting the blame on the police instead. 

Ambiga  told the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) public inquiry today that she had control of the crowd, although few people could hear her call to disperse about 2.40pm that day. 

This was because, she said, despite a breakdown in mobile phone communications and her hailer being not loud enough, the word was passed, mouth-to-mouth, through the Unit Amal personnel who had heard it. 

NONEAmbiga (left) believes that - if the LRT service continued operating and given time - the participants would have been able to disperse peacefully in about an hour. 

However, she said, her control was lost once police, about 3pm, started firing tear gas and water cannons. 

“You (the police) created this situation, you bring it back under control. Don’t say it is my job now,” she said.
