Selangor exco Ronnie Liu from DAP was arrested shortly after midnight today and was apparently 'forced' out from Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim's car that he was riding in.In the 12.20am incident, several excos had just finished a state ceramah function in Hulu Selangor and were returning to Kuala Lumpur before the police stopped them midway.
According to fellow exco and eyewitness Elizabeth Wong, they were in a convoy of about "eight or nine" cars led by a patrol car on the trunk road in Rawang when the incident took place.
"The patrol car in front of us slowed down and another patrol car sped up from behind us.
"Liu who was riding with Khalid, was suddenly put in a patrol car and was taken away without explanation," said Wong, who witnessed the incident from inside her car.
She added that in the ceramah organised by the state government, Liu had spoken earlier but she was unsure of the contents of his speech since she arrived just after he had ended his speech.
'Liu promoted Bersih rally'
Khalid later wrote in his Twitter that Liu was arrested because he had asked the people to join the upcoming Bersih 2.0 rally planned for July 9. The MB also tweeted that he was being held at the Serendah police station. Efforts to reach Liu have been futile.
According to Selangor DAP Youth publicity secretary Lim Swee Kuan, Liu was released at 3.40am on police bail of RM3,000.
Since last Friday, the police have arrested more than 100 people around the country including lawmakers in connection with the Bersih 2.0 rally. Most of them were arrested because they were wearing the yellow Bersih 2.0 T-shirt.
Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein had earlier this week declared the T-shirt illegal since they were "related to an illegal activity".

Quote: “We win with the people’s support. I am not prepared to be the Prime Minister through deceit. I want to be the prime minister because the people like us (the BN), trust us and are comfortable with the BN,” Najib said – Source Borneo Post page 2 of July 1, 2011 under the heading “Street demos not the responsible way – Najib”.
ReplyDeleteAbout the illegal PM with a sounding name eye tears, we know how he almost lost in GE1999 when he scrapped through with about 200 votes in P085 Pekan, Pahang. Then in GE2004, he had a majority of 22,922 but the discrepancies of Ballot Papers Issued of 1,500. If the huge discrepancy when it should be zero, is investigated before the declaration of winner on the night of polling, some or five candidates could be declared not winners. So we need an independent and qualified scrutiny team to check the results.
So did Najib get the real support of the voters in his seat? His statement aforesaid mentioned is indeed HOLLOW. Did UMNO and BN get true results? In GE 2004, there was no landslide victory for BN and could have lost it to the opposition. In GE 2008, it could have been PR in the Parliament.
So it is still not too late that Najib resign now after calling for a Royal Commission of Inquiry on Election Commission and the Electoral System. All those illegal BN leaders have to refund their remuneration and pensions if due forfeited into a Fund for the Poor People of Malaysia - FPPM.
