PETALING JAYA: The doctors who were questioned by police a little before midnight to the wee hours of the morning said they were not given any choice, contrary to claims it was done at their convenience.
Speaking through their lawyer, Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi, the doctors said they were instructed to give their statement the moment the police arrived.
“If the police were really considerate, the doctors would have been allowed to choose when they could give their statement,” he said.
Earlier today, Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed defended the questioning of doctors at the Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS) treatment centre, explaining that this was for the doctors’ own convenience.
The doctors were questioned between 11.45pm and 3.50am.
Arjunaidi said the doctors were questioned at that hour as their shift was from 8pm to 8am, adding that it would be inconvenient for them to be questioned after work as they would be exhausted.
The doctors, he said, were giving their statements over the alleged intrusion by six journalists who wanted to cover the Hartal Doktor Kontrak strike at the treatment centre on Monday.
