Edmund Bon
STRONG ARM TACTICS: Edmund Bon being pushed against the shutters within the premises of the Bar Council Secretariat on Sunday (Dec 09). SunPix By : Zulkifli Ersal.

KUALA LUMPUR, Mon: In an emergency meeting held at 6 this evening, Bar Council members viewed and studied the videos, pictures and eye-witnesses' statements taken over the arrest of Edmund Bon, the Bar's Human Rights Committee Chairman in allegedly obstructing DBKL officers from removing human rights banners and posters from the Bar's premises.

The Council decided to refer the matter to its team of counsel to study the case, with a possible suit against the Datuk Bandar of Kuala Lumpur and his officers.

Council members expressed shock over the high-handedness and deliberate victimisation by a local authority tantamount to a misfeasance of public office in ruining the Human Rights Day celebrations held within the Bar's premises and the rented open cark park space on Sunday.

Authority?

Are these thugs in action? So much physical contact with Edmund. They are not even empowered to do that. These are the kinda things Nazri the Minister are very proud of. Bunch of w@#k-rs .

What are they trying to prove? Look at the way Edmund was manhandled against the shutters. Bloody thugs!

These are the kind of authorities we should be obeying?

Malaysia Boleh?

Dear Yeeu Ren,

I think they are trying to prove "Malaysia Boleh" i.e. they can whack you and wallop you as and when they want.

Today's newspaper quoted the Datuk Bandar as saying that the banners and posters violate some obscure advertisement by laws. Hence the need to take these actions against the big crime committed. Just wonder if they are just as hardworking and dedicated when it comes to tearing down illegal billboards and advertisements which are mushrooming all over the place (and I mean public places as opposed to private property).
