Public warned to stay away from illegal gathering tomorrow

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 27 — The police have described the plan by 500 supporters of Internal Security Act (ISA) detainee P. Uthayakumar to lodge a mass police report at the Brickfields police headquarters tomorrow as an illegal gathering and advised the public to stay away.

Kuala Lumpur police chief, Datuk Wira Mohammad Sabtu Osman, said the police will not compromise with those involved in such a gathering which could jeopardise public order.

Hence, he said legal action awaits those who disobey the police’s instruction.

About 500 individuals have planned to gather in front of the Brickfields police headquarters tomorrow to lodge a report accusing the police of neglecting Uthayakumar’s health while detained under the ISA.

“We have received such a report before. So, there is no need for so many people to come and lodge the same thing. Just imagine having 500 people making the same police report at the same time, isn’t it troublesome and a waste of time?” he told reporters here today.

He also described the plan to make the mass police report as an attempt to ridicule the police because only one report was needed for the matter to be fairly investigated. — Bernama
