Media statement by DAP Socialist Youth (DAPSY) National Chairman and MP for Rasah, Loke Siew Fook, on Wednesday, 27 May 2009, in Petaling Jaya:
It’s painful and saddening to know that the number of absurd arrests made by the police since May 5 has now risen to an astounding 167. These arrests are unwarranted and are just plain ridiculous.
There are countless examples to illustrate the absurdity of such arrests and here are just a few: On May 6, 3 people were arrested for delivering a cake to the Prime Minister’s Office. On May 7, many people were arrested for just having their ‘teh tarik’ in a Mamak stall near the Perak State Assembly building, while a man was arrested for doing his morning jog near the area. On May 21, 16 people were arrested for celebrating a person’s birthday. And on yesterday, May 27，14 people were arrested for fasting, while two were arrested while having a chat.
