Azwanddin Hamzah's inflammatory speech at a rally yesterday may land him in trouble as police are now investigating him for criminal intimidation.
Selangor CID chief Fadzil Ahmat told Malaysiakini that police have opened an investigation on the president of Jaringan Melayu Malaysia under Section 506 of the Penal Code which deals with criminal intimidation.
"Police have opened an investigation on him under Section 506," said Fadzil in a reply to a text message.
During a rally organised by Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Geras) in Klang yesterday, Azwanddin delivered a fiery speech during which he called Minister in the Prime Minister's Department P Waythamoorthy the P-word which is deemed derogatory to Indians.
He then went on to threaten an attack on the Klang police station if the authorities did not arrest the perpetrators of last month riots near the Seafield Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in USJ25, Selangor.
Abu Bakar Mohamed, president of Gerakan Rakyat Malaysia (Geras), the organisers of the rally had disagreed with Azwanddin and said he was upset that the did not comply with the conditions to speak at the event.
The rally was to demand justice for the slain firefighter Muhammad Adib Mohd Kassim who succumbed recently to injuries sustained after being assaulted by rioters near the temple.
Authorities said that Adib was dragged out from his vehicle by rioters and beaten. He suffered broken ribs and multiple organ failures.
Adib showed a slight improvement during the treatment at the National Heart Centre but his condition worsened and he died on Dec 17. - Mkini
