Six
of them were at the Sri Pahang Flats in Lembah Pantai at around 11.30am
today when three Umno members showed up, according to Fahmi Fadzil (left), the political secretary to the constituency's MP Nurul Izzah Anwar."Despite the volunteers having showed their tags and documents to prove that they are from Nurul Izzah's office, the Umno members cornered them and accused them of trying to kidnap young children.
"Four volunteers were then picked up by the police who arrived at the scene later," he said, adding that the other two managed to slip away.
The four, identified as Nanthakumar Panisalbon, 24; Gopal Dass Manoharan, 26; Shamsudin Yusof, 30; and Gurmit Singh, 31, were then detained at the Jalan Travers Police Station, Kuala Lumpur.
Long wait finally ends
Nurul Izzah and Batu MP Tian Chua arrived at the police station in
the afternoon and got the volunteers released at 6.16pm, according to an
SMS from Fahmi.
Upset by the second of such arrests within a week, Nurul Izzah (right) decried the Umno's members' behaviour as "acts of intimidation".
"It handicaps an MP's work. I must be given space to do my work.
"It is very unbecoming. We condemn the various allegations from Umno members that are baseless and malicious in nature," she said.
Earlier this week, police arrested two PKR volunteers on suspicion of impersonating Election Commission officers when conducting a survey at a mosque in Pantai Dalam.
The survey, according to Fahmi, was designed to foster deeper understanding between constituents and their parliamentarian.- malaysiakini

Nurul’s volunteers released
Ahli UMNO kepung, tangkap petugas culaan undi Lembah Pantai...
Sekumpulan dipercayai ahli Umno bertindak membelangkangi undang-undang apabila menangkap empat petugas culaan undi KEADILAN di kawasan parlimen Lembah Pantai.
Dalam kejadian yang berlaku kira-kira jam 12 tengah hari tadi, ahli Umno terbabit bertindak mengepung, mengugut dan merampas kad pengenalan P Nanthakumar, M Gopal Dass, Shamsudin Yusof dan Gurmit Singh yang menjalankan bancian di kawasan itu.
Ketua sukarelawan, Mohd Affendi Abdul Ghaffar berkata, tuduhan seorang Ketua Umno dikenali sebagai ‘Ramli’ bahawa kehadiran mereka di perumahan Flet Sri Pahang, Lembah Pantai sebagai cubaan menculik kanak-kanak, adalah fitnah.
“Sedangkan kami kemukakan kepada mereka Surat Kajian Pengesahan Daftar Pengundi Kuala Lumpur 2012,” katanya ketika ditemui di perkarangan Balai Polis Jalan Travers.
Keempat mereka diambil keterangan di bawah Akta 170 Kanun Keseksaan atas dakwaan menyamar sebagai petugas awam.
Ekoran itu, katanya, laporan polis akan dibuat Ahli Parlimen Lembah Pantai, Nurul Izzah Anwar berhubung tangkapan salah yang dilakukan ahli Umno terbabit.
Ini adalah kejadian kedua susulan penangkapan yang dilakukan oleh polis terhadap dua sukarelawan Nurul Izzah- Muhammad Hanan Asyraf Rozani dan Mohd Ridhwan Jahari pada 20 Mac lalu, semasa membanci penduduk di kawasan flat PPR Kampung Limau di Lembah Pantai.
Sementara itu, peguam yang mewakili empat yang ditahan, S Narasimhan menjelaskan, tangkapan awam tersebut adalah salah kerana sukarelawan telah mengemukakan surat perakuan tugasan.
“Culaan adalah hak kepada mana-mana parti politik. Ini memang tugas mereka untuk akses kepada sentimen pengundi.
“Bukankah pilihan raya umum ke-13 semakin hampir. Apa salah mereka?,” soalnya.
Operasi culaan pengundi Parlimen Lembah Pantai hari ini disertai kira-kira 30 sukarelawan termasuk ahli Pas yang dipecahkan kepada beberapa kumpulan bermula jam 10 pagi.
Azrin Yaakop, sukarelawan Pas dari Taman Tun Dr Ismail yang menyertai operasi memberitahu, mereka turut dihalau sekumpulan dipercayai Pemuda Umno di Kampung Pasir, Lembah Pantai, selepas diekori sebuah kereta Honda CRV.
“Selepas culaan dibuat di tiga buah rumah, kami diberi amaran oleh pemandu kereta itu untuk segera beredar dari kawasan tersebut,” katanya. - keadilandaily
