Stage invader at Xmas open house nabbed

A commotion broke out at the national level Christmas day open house event in Penang resulting in the arrest of a senior citizen and a local activist.

Angel Teh Onn Liew, who is in her 50s, was arrested after trying to approach the VIP stage twice to hand a thick document to Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

Teh was dragged away after finding her way to the stage the first time for questioning by the police.

However, she managed to find her way to the stage a second time, resulting in her being handcuffed and brought to a mobile police station.

Persatuan Mukabuku Pulau Pinang chief Salleh Ismail snatched away her document after she approached the stage the second time.

He too was swiftly handcuffed and whisked away by the police.

Prior to being arrested, Teh told reporters that she had wanted to inform Najib and Lim about her plight, allegedly involving how her land was taken away from her by illegal means.
