Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia (Bersatu) Youth T-shirts were distributed for free amongst alleged agent provocateurs prior to the Nothing to Hide 2 event in Shah Alam today, claimed Bersatu Youth chief Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman.
Syed Saddiq said the intent was for them to slip into the function, organised by Bersatu Youth, and cause harm to party chairperson Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
"There was a systematic element of sabotage... We believe it was meant to sabotage this program and hurt Mahathir.
"From initial police investigations, they wore Armada T-shirts," he told a press conference after order was restored at the function.
Armada is the official name for Bersatu Youth.
Piles of red t-shirts, allegedly worn by the provocateurs, were put on display during the press conference.
"Why do we say that? Because when they ran they took off the Armada shirts," added Syed Saddiq.
Earlier police escorted two suspects from a VIP holding room at the venue. The two were wearing Bersatu Youth T-shirts.
The event, which started at 3pm, descended into chaos at around 5.30pm when Mahathir was addressing the crowd.
When Mahathir was responding to a question about the Memali tragedy, a slipper was hurled in his direction.
This was followed by several other objects including bottles, chairs and a flare.
However, none of the items landed on Mahathir as security personnel rushed to protect him.
Sporadic fighting then ensued as Bersatu supporters attempted to confront the suspected provocateurs, which eventually spilled out of the hall. - Mkini
