Apologise or face daily demos, warns Umno Youth
(The Star) KUALA LUMPUR: Umno Youth wants DAP national chairman Karpal Singh to drop any lawsuit against the Sultan of Perak or it will demonstrate outside his office in Jalan Pudu every day.
“We want any action to bring the Sultan to court to cease immediately because it can jeopardise public security and Karpal Singh must ask for forgiveness from the Sultan,” said Serdang Umno Youth chief Ungku Mat Salleh.
On guard: Federal Reserve Unit personnel holding back Umno Youth members as the protesters march on to Karpal Singh's office in Kuala Lumpur yesterday. Some 50 Umno Youth members from Selangor and Federal Territory marched to Karpal Singh’s office yesterday. The demonstration stopped rush hour traffic around the busy Puduraya area.
They also called for the arrest of PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and former Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin for not heeding the Sultan’s directive that the latter resign.
Federal Reserve Unit personnel stopped the demonstrators when they were near Karpal Singh’s office.
Karpal Singh said he would take legal action against the police for failing to stop an illegal demonstration.
Dang Wangi OCPD Asst Comm Zulkarnain Abdul Rahman said the group did not have a permit and police used their discretion and warned them to disperse within 15 minutes which they did.
