Ramasamy to be interviewed at Bukit Aman tomorrow
Police to record his statement about an article in which he questioned the shooting of three men said to be robbers.
KUALA LUMPUR: Penang’s Deputy Chief Minister II, P Ramasamy, has been summoned to Bukit Aman tomorrow to give his statement over a police report against him regarding an article last month in which he made remarks about the police.
Mior Faridalathrash Wahid of Bukit Aman CID’s prosecution division said Ramasamy was expected to present himself at Bukit Aman at 10am to give his statement to the D5 Classified Criminal Investigation Unit.
Ramasamy is to be interviewed about an article ‘’New Government but the police still at the same notch – Ramasamy’’ which was published on the Malaysia Gazette on Sept 17.
In the article, Ramasamy had commented on the action of the police in shooting dead three suspected male robbers in Batu Arang, Selangor, three days earlier.
A similar article was published by FMT and Malaysiakini.

In it, Ramasamy questioned the police for gunning down the three men, one of them a Sri Lankan. “The police under the changed political circumstances must wake up to the idea that the repetition of the old narrative, ‘there was chase, the robbers shot at the police and the police returned fire resulting in their deaths’, is not acceptable,” Ramasamy wrote.
