1 out of every 100 police officers in all of Malaysia deployed to “guard” DAP anniversary & Father’s Day dinner in Klang

I’m not even making it up. Source - Malaysiakini? Suara Keadilan? Try The Star:

Some 3,500 people turned up for the DAP’s 43rd anniversary dinner last night, which also saw 900 police and FRU personnel “attending” along with two water cannon trucks.

Police had initially blocked dinner guests from entering the venue, in front of Klang MP Charles Santiago’s service centre, but relented when DAP leaders Lim Kit Siang, Gobind Singh Deo and Ronnie Liu, among others, marched past them and took their seats.

However, police confiscated the public address system and told organisers that they were barred from making speeches, among other things.

Klang OCPD Asst Comm Mohamed Mat Yusop confirmed that the permit for the event was cancelled, adding: “We advised them to not give speeches and if they do so, we will arrest them.”

Yeah, the brave OCPD of Klang required no less than 900 cops to threaten some what, 5 politicians? See pics here.

Total number of police in Malaysia: 93,348.

Total number of robberies, snatch thefts, burglaries, rapes, etc that night? We can only imagine.

I’m starting to think the cops just hate DAP for ‘fun.’

I don’t care how sick you and I are of hearing it: is it just me, or is something wrong with the way our police are trained and deployed?
