BN ‘special squad’ deployed
(Free Malaysia Today) – Several busloads of Barisan Nasional supporters, clad in red t-shirts printed with the words ‘special squad’ have been deployed.
Their presence along the Batang Kali road had brought traffic to a standstill.
BN and Pakatan Rakyat supporters, armed with banners and flags, are engaged in shouting matches at the entrances of polling stations, with one report claiming that a scuffle took place outside a school in Hulu Bernam.
However, Selangor police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said voting at all polling centres is going smoothly with no untoward incidents reported so far.
He said the situation was under control with policemen stationed at all polling stations to maintain order and ensure a smooth election process.
“There is no complaints or report of any disturbance since the polling centres were opened two hours ago,” he told Bernama here.
Khalid advised voters to take advantage of the fine weather to come out early to exercise their rights to avoid any inconvenience.
