PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has expressed its displeasure to Singapore over the participation of three of its diplomats at the Bersih 3.0 rally on April 28.

Singapore High Commissioner Ong Keng Yong was summoned to Wisma Putra yesterday where he was told by Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman that diplomats must be mindful of the sensitivities of the host country, and that the involvement of the three at the rally was inappropriate.

The minister explained that while it was a diplomatic mission's responsibility to monitor developments in the country and report to their respective governments, diplomats should not participate in illegal rallies like Bersih 3.0.

On Thursday, Ong had stated that three High Commission officials his deputy Ariel Tan and first secretaries (political) Regina Low and Philomena Aw went to the Bersih rally in their personal capacities and were not on any official assignment.

He denied that the officials had gone there to support the protesters who were demanding that free and fair elections be held.

Anifah, who had spoken out against the participation of diplomats at street demonstrations during a luncheon with Asean ambassadors here on June 11, said he had stressed to Ong that Wisma Putra would not hesitate to take stronger action against diplomats found to have stepped beyond the norms applicable under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations 1961 and Malaysian laws.

Meanwhile, a Singapore Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesman said in a statement that the diplomats were present at the Bersih 3.0 rally as impartial observers and performing "part of their normal professional diplomatic duties".

KUALA LUMPUR - Three Singapore High Commission officials who attended the Bersih 3.0 rally did not go there to support the protesters, High Commissioner Ong Keng Yong said.


He explained that the three - his deputy Ariel Tan and first secretaries (political) Regina Low and Philomena Aw - went in their personal capacities and were not on any official assignment.


He said April 28 being a Saturday, the three members of his mission were free to make use of the weekend to go to the scene. He denied that any had worn a yellow Bersih T-shirt.


"Many diplomats from other countries also went to the site of the rally, so why just pick on our three ladies? I am very suspicious of their motives.


"We enjoy very close relations with Malaysia now and I feel outraged over these allegations,'' he told The Star.


Ong was responding to reports in certain blogs which identified the three women, alleging that they went to the rally to be "actively involved".

The blogs stated that this was a clear contravention of ethics under the Vienna Convention. One posting also accused Low of wearing a yellow Bersih T-shirt on that day.


Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman had, during a luncheon with Asean heads of mission on June 11, told them that he received reports about the involvement of foreign diplomats in street demonstrations, citing the Bersih rally.

He expressed concern that the diplomats concerned could have got involved or injured in unfortunate incidents.

Ong, a former Asean secretary-general, said he took Anifah's comments and advice in good faith.

"As the Foreign Minister, he was giving his views. It was not directed at the Asean ambassadors only as he was also meeting with other groups of ambassadors,'' he added.

Ong pointed out that his Government had rejected a request to hold a Bersih rally in the republic.

He also rejected allegations that there was a Singapore group which was interfering in Malaysia's political scene via social networking sites, adding that those involved were actually Malaysians working and living in Singapore.

And one can't help linking MFA Chief of Protocol's investigation over 'improper claims' with this latest storm.

In the business world "improper claims" is the most convenient excuse for sacking someone who fucked up.

It would be lovely if we could have some pictures of the 3.

It is one of the most convenient ways for an employee to take advantage of the company.
It is also one of the most convenient ways to get an employee into trouble, whether he fucked up or not.

The 3 ladies are silly. I suspect that this is a bit of excitement and a bit of being overly ambitious. Old man always reads MFA traffic and likes to make a comment about the quality on the top of the paper. So I am sure they want to sharpen their reports with first hand knowledge.

I am also ceratin the whistleblower is one of their colleagues.

Ask any finance manager -- employee/petty cash claims are usually immaterial amounts. But it is especially incriminating since the employee's integrity is concerned.
