Captured heckler mobbed at Pakatan ceramah...

A heckler captured by participants at a Pakatan Rakyat ceramah in Kuala Selangor last night sent PAS crowd-control corp Unit Amal scrambling as it tried to prevent him from being beaten up.

A group of about 20 youths on motorcycles stopped outside the ceramah venue at the Kuala Selangor Stadium and unfurled spray-painted anti-Pakatan banners while taunting participants from outside the fence.

This provoked an angry reaction from hundreds of participants as some moved to the fence, about 20 metres away from the main 5,000-strong ceramah crowd, and began shouting at the hecklers: "Catch them! Catch them!".

According to an eyewitness, some of the hecklers had vandalised and scratched a number of vehicles parked outside the stadium.

A group of irate participants then exited the stadium and caught one of the hecklers who was dragged into the stadium building.

The heckler, dressed in a pink T-shirt with white stripes, was immediately mobbed by the angry crowd as Unit Amal members struggled to reach him to form a human shield.

"Don't hit him, don't hit him, let him go," a Unit Amal member was heard shouting repeatedly as they attempted to push back the angry crowd, while others called for calm, but to no avail.

After Unit Amal members had successfully formed a circle around the heckler, he was quickly rushed to the stadium entrance and released to his waiting peers.

The stadium gates were immediately shut to prevent the angry crowd from pursuing them.

Growing violence

Despite the commotion, the ceramah, which was attended by Pakatan top guns, continued uninterrupted.

Addressing the crowd later, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim dismissed the scuffle as yet another attempt at intimidation by pro-government forces.

"As usual, there is disturbance again... This is the action of hired thugs," he lamented.

Other leaders who addressed the ceramah included DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang, PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang and Selangor Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim.

Ceramah and rallies have become increasing tensed in recent months as both sides of the political divide prepare for an anticipated early general election.

Yesterday morning, Deputy Education Minister Wee Ka Siong, who ade a surprise appearance at a rally in Kajang for Chinese education, was almost hit by a participant. At least three such incidents were recorded last month, with an attempted attack on Lembah Pantai MP Nurul Izzah during a ceramah in Gambang, Pahang, while Anwar's vehicle was damaged during a ceramah in Sembrong, Johor.

Two journalists were also assaulted in a scuffle during the Himpunan Hijau solidarity gathering which was attended by Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in George Town last month.- malaysiakini

Hands off Selangor, Anwar tells Najib

 Hadirin cekup remaja cuba ganggu ceramah Pakatan...

Seorang remaja yang dipercaya cuba menganggu ceramah pemimpin Pakatan Rakyat di Kuala Selangor malam tadi, dicekup para hadirin, menyebabkan anggota Unit Amal PAS yang mengawal ceramah tersebut, terpaksa bertungkus berusaha menghalang daripada remaja itu dipukul.

Sebelum itu, sekumpulan kira-kira 20 remaja bermotosikal berhenti di luar tempat ceramah tersebut di Stadium Kuala Selangor serta membawa sepanduk anti-Pakatan sambil mengejek hadirin dari luar pagar.

Perbuatan itu mencetuskan kemarahan hadirian yang sebahagiannya bergerak menujuk ke arah pagar sambil menjerit "Tangkap mereka! Tangkap mereka!".

Pagar itu terletak kira-kira 20 meter dari pintu masuk stadium di mana kira-kira 5,000 orang sedang mendengar ucapan pemimpin Pakatan.

Seorang saksi mendakwa, beberapa remaja tersebut tertindak merosak dan mencalar beberapa buah kenderaan yang diletakkan di luar stadium.

Sekumpulan hadiran yang berang kemudian keluar dari stadium dan berjaya mencekup salah seorang remaja tersebut dan mengheretnya masuk ke dalam stadium.

Remaja itu yang berpakaian baju-T berwarna merah jambu berjalur putih, diserbu orang ramai yang berang, menyebabkan anggota Unit Amal bertungkus lumus bentuk membentuk perisai manusia untuk melindunginya.


"Jangan pukul dia, jangan pukul dia, biarkannya dia pergi," jerit seorang anggota Unit Amal berulang kali ketika mereka cuba menghalang orang ramai yang berang manakala yang lain meminta supaya bertenang, tetapi usaha itu tidak berhasil.


Selepas anggota Unit Amal berjaya membentuk bulatan di sekelilingnya, remaja tersebut dikejar ke pintu stadium dan dilepaskan untuk menyertai rakan-rakan yang sedang menunggunya

Pintu stadium terus ditutup untuk menghalang orang ramai yang marah daripada yang mengejar mereka.

Di sebalik kekecohan itu, ceramah yang dihadiri oleh pemimpin tertinggi Pakatan - Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, Lim Kit Siang, Datuk Seri Hadi Awang  dan Menteri Besar Selangor, Tan Sri Abdul Khalid Ibrahim - berjalan tanpa gangguan.-malaysiakini
