Protect the people, not arrest peaceful demonstrators, Kajang Police told

Instead of brutally abusing peaceful demonstrators and high-handedly disrupting peaceful demonstration organized by the DAP Selangor in collaboration with Gabungan Bantah Kenaikan Tol and Open Access Road Committee of Bandar Mahkota Cheras, Kajang police force should carry out its duty to protect personal safety of the people instead of harassing and arresting innocent demonstrators which do not pose any threat to public safety.

DAP Selangor Assistant Treasurer Yap Lum Chin who is also the Public Complaint Bureau Chief of DAP Selangor was robbed somewhere nearby his house when he was walking back to his house on 20th January 2007.

Yap was pushed to the ground by two robbers who rided a motorcycle and was robbed of about RM800 in cash and a handphone worth RM200. He also claimed that there was one robbery in Taman Indah Balakong a few days ago when two Indonesian robbers on a motorcycle pushed another motorcyclist before the victim was robbed of RM500 in cash and a handphone.

Kajang police should seriously look into the worsening security problem in Balakong and work out a plan on improving local security.
