“The law must apply equally to everyone whether Barisan Nasional or Pakatan Rakyat. There should not be double standards when enforcing the law,” he said.

“We are going to make VCD copies of the incident and distribute them to the people for them to see the real picture that it was not we who started the trouble.

“We are working on the distribution of the VCDs which will have two versions - the unedited seven-hour version and the edited one-hour version. Let the people decide who started the trouble,” he had said.

Before the media conference, Zambry had also taken the media to task for reporting BN assemblypersons as the troublemakers and called for fair reporting.

“Likewise the police must also seize the audiovisual equipment of BN when they screen the assembly sitting incident to the public. There should not be double standards,” he added.

Don't forget four key portions


On the same note, he said BN must release the unedited version of the assembly sitting incident so that the people can get the true picture of the fracas.

“BN should not edit the video to their advantage which will portray Pakatan (reps) as trouble makers,” he added.

Nga insisted that four important portions must be included in the BN recording. These are:
