PH man took down flag on orders, say police

 

The man seen in a viral video was a Pakatan Harapan election monitoring agent acting on instructions, say police.

KUALA LUMPUR: A man shown in a viral video removing a Pakatan Harapan flag in front of the national museum was a PH monitoring agent for the general election, police said today.

Brickfields district police chief Amihizam Abdul Shukor said the man’s actions were on the instructions by the Lembah Pantai election campaign enforcement team chief and the police representative.

“The instructions were issued after a discussion with the Lembah Pantai parliamentary candidate’s representative, as the flag had covered the fence at the front of the National Museum.

“Police would like to remind the public not to viral any video or information without verifying it beforehand as such irresponsible action can affect public order,” he said in a statement tonight.

Amihizam also warned the public not to carry out any actions that were against the law throughout the campaign period. - FMT
