Police Deniy Using Force To Disperse Illegal Gathering At UPSI
TANJUNG MALIM, Jan 1 — Police today denied using force to disperse an illegal gathering by the Solidariti Mahasiswa Malaysia (SMM) at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris (UPSI) early this morning.
Perak police chief Datuk Mohd Shukri Dahlan said the allegations on several blogs that two students were injured after being assaulted by Federal Reserve Unit (FRU) personnel was untrue and defamatory.
“During the gathering, there was no FRU personnel on duty but only policemen from the Tanjung Malim Police Contingent Headquarters,” he told a press conference here, Sunday.
He said the injuries to the two students were caused by their own stampede and not due to assaults as claimed.
He said the police at the outset tried to counsel the group and gave them 30 minutes to disperse but the students ignored the overture and became more aggressive instead.
“They then advanced and proceeded to lie down on the road which disturbed traffic. Police had to act to ensure public safety but it was conducted according to the book.
“They then ran to a nearby clinic and caused damage to the premises. Police detained 17 students,” he said.
Mohd Shukri added that the gathering was an illegal one as they did not have a permit to do so and, if fact, SMM, itself was an illegal association.
All the students, aged between 19 and 24, were investigated under Sections 186, 145 and 147 of the Penal Code and Section 27(5) of the Police Act. They were released on police bail this evening.
They gathered to demand that the Universities and University Colleges Act 1971 be abolished and UPSI student Adam Adli should not be punished by the management of the university for pulling down a flag with a picture of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak at the Umno Headquarters on Dec 17.
