Investigation papers to be referred to DPP for further action, says George Town police chief Gan Kong Meng
GEORGE TOWN: The city police are in the process of finalising investigation papers on the incident on Sunday where a group of Muslims delivered two coffins to DAP Komtar assemblyman Ng Wei Aik at separate places.
George Town OCPD ACP Gan Kong Meng said: “We are in the process of winding up and handing over the investigation papers to the DPP for further action.”
Gan said that the case was being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation and for illegal assembly under Section 27(5) of the Police Act 1963.
He dismissed criticisms, especially in cyber space, that police have been practicing double standard by applying different sets of law on different groups.
Gan said police always acted fairly to uphold law and order. When asked why no one has been arrested over the incident, he said that the coffins were not delivered to Ng in person.
The group had carried out their action for what they claimed were the Penang Pakatan-led government’s betrayal of the Malay-Muslim community.
A yet-to-be registered Pertubuhan Suara Anak-anak Malaysia (Voice of Malaysian Children’s Association) chief Mohamed Ghani Abd Jiman led the group to deliver the coffins to Ng.
He placed one coffin in Komtar Walk and another by the roadside of Ng’s townhouse in Happy Valley area, Paya Terubong.
Fist-fight
During a demonstration prior to placing the coffin on Komtar Walk, Ghani’s supporters, from several Malay-Muslim NGOs, demanded Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s resignation and called Ng a ‘coward’.
Ghani, who heads another unregistered organisation – the Voice of Penang Mamak Children Association, also delivered a fiery racially-tinged speech before a watching police team.
His supporters said the coffins were signs of the consequences one must face for betraying the Malay-Muslim community.
“He can send me back 10 coffins if he wants to, I would gladly accept it,” said Ghani who had spent RM 2,000 on the coffins.
Ghani is also Komtar Merchants Association vice-president and had once challenged the chief minister to a fist-fight.
Police have came under heavy fire in the cyber space over the incident and many questioned Ghani’s credentials for championing the Malay cause when he is of Indian origin.
Many also criticised police of being ‘too lenient’ on the perpetrators, who were believed to have links with Umno.
