(fz.com) – Wong is being investigated under Section 124C of the Penal Code which involves attempting to commit activity that is detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

Tindak Malaysia founder Wong Piang Yow, who is under investigation for offences against the state, arrived at the police headquarters in Bukit Aman for questioning this morning.

Wong, who arrived before 9am, was accompanied by a small group of supporters protesting against the police action and carrying signs with “Abolish SOSMA”, “Don’t use SOSMA to stop the people” and “Don’t threaten rakyat with SOSMA”.

Wong is being investigated under Section 124C of the Penal Code which involves attempting to commit activity that is detrimental to parliamentary democracy.

Section 124C falls under Chapter VI (Offences Against the State) of the Penal Code and is a security offence under the 1st Schedule of the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 (Sosma).

Bersih co-chairman, Datuk Ambiga Sreevanesan who was present said the authorities were trying to build a case out of nothing and that it was “utterly ridiculous” to charge Wong under Section 124C.

“I cannot imagine how they even think for a moment that they have a case to investigate under Section 124C,” said Ambiga.

“As far as I am concerned, this is just intimidation. PY Wong and his group of ordinary citizens is doing useful training and they have been doing it for years.

“They stopped training on randomisation of ballots since October last year. Bersih is against randomisation but all they (Tindak Malaysia) are saying is that to protect the secrecy of your ballots, you just choose,” she said.
