| No special treatment maaa! Posted: 01 Nov 2013 10:14 PM PDT Ah-ha! What makes you different from other OKT (Orang Kena Tahan). Once you are brought in (the lock-up), you have to undergo all that usual process. Don't expect a better treatment just because you are a Member of Parliament. "I felt humiliated. In discharging my duty as a wakil rakyat, today I was treated like a criminal by the police... handcuffed, (made to do a) urine test, DNA sampling, fingerprints recording and the worst, photographed with the report number at my chest." DAP MP for Seremban Anthony Loke (pic) posted that on his Facebook yesterday. Hahaha! You know your rights, and the police know theirs too. However, the record is just a record. If you are clean, there wont be any need for the police to keep it. Its their standard procedure, don't you know that?
He was arrested along with 18 human rights activists including PSM secretary-general S Arutchelvan, Suaram's Nalini Elumalai and A Thevaraj, as well as other opposition politicians and state assemblypersons during a demolition of Kampung Hakka Mantin a few days ago. They have since been released on bail pending a formal charge.
The protesters were arrested under Article 186 of the Penal Code, for obstructing public servants from carrying out their work.
The pre-planned demolition works at Kampung Hakka was to make way for a mixed-development project by the developer, Mega 9 Housing Sdn Bhd.
It proceeded after an order from the Seremban High Court in effect declared the villagers squatters and gives the developer legal standing to demolish the houses.
Loke said yesterday that while the state has power to alienate land, it should have been given to the residents who had been occupying the area for generations, instead of private developers.
By simple logic, occupying government's land is against the law. However, the Negri Sembilan state government did not take any action, hoping they will find a better place to settle down after so many notices were given out. But they have this 'jungle people's' mind - once we occupy the land, it is ours forever! During the demolition work, they were a bit rowdy. Even some so-called wakil rakyat also hurled abusive words at the municipal workers.
