Detentions of six carried out for peace and order: Najib
PEKAN - THE detentions of several individuals under the Emergency Ordinance are carried out to prevent any untoward incidence and for peace and public order to be maintained, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said.
'This is a preventive measure, prevention is better than cure,' he told reporters after opening the Pekan Umno division delegates meeting on Sunday. 'What the police are doing is to prevent something more serious from taking place.'
The Prime Minister was commenting on why the police used the Emergency (Public Order and Prevention of Crime) Ordinance 1969 against six people who were suspected of being involved in foreign and subversive elements.
Among the detainees was Sungai Siput MP Dr Michael Jeyakumar Devaraj. Mr Najib said he was confident that the police understood all implications when taking such an action against the supporters of Bersih 2.0.
'There are several elements in a demonstration like this,' he said.
'Some people want to take part because they are agitators and there are others who join in because they like unruly and wild situations which rouse them,' he added. -- THE STAR/ANN
