“It was a malicious attempt by the police to scare the people into not standing up for their rights,” he said at Bukit Aman during the handing over of the memorandum.
Along with the memorandum, the group also lodged a report urging the police to investigate how the error could have occurred and those responsible for it.
The memorandum was handed over to a Bukit Aman public relations officer.
