KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 (Bernama) -- About 50 Umno supporters from the Ampang, Pandan and Gombak divisions here protested against moves to frustrate probes by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and police into malpractices allegedly committed by several Selangor Executive Councillors as well as on the death of Teoh Beng Hock, a political aide to a Selangor Exco member.
Ampang Umno division head Datuk Ismail Kijo said the issue on Teoh's death should not be politicised.
"I notice that certain groups are trying to divert the issue as though they want to protect the actual issue, namely corruption.
"Their leaders are demanding that no action be taken against several State Exco members being investigated by the MACC until the probe on Teoh's death had been concluded whereas the matters are unrelated," he told reporters here.
The gathering, which started at 4.30 pm next to a carpark of a shopping complex, here, was dispersed by police about 20 minutes later as it did not have a police permit.
