Hisham to meet Section 23 residents
- 9 years ago
Residents of Section 23 in Shah Alam - some of whom who were involved in a 'cow-head' protest to oppose a relocation of a Hindu temple to their neighbourhood - will meet Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein tomorrow to voice their grievances over the issue.
Speaking to reporters in Putrajaya today, the minister said the residents, who have requested an appointment with him, come from "different political ideology" despite speculation that they are all from Umno.
Hishammuddin also said the police are still conducting an investigation against the protesters based on 52 police reports lodged so far.
He added that the probe will have to be closed before any arrests can be made.
"But we are not hiding anything from the people... We will take action against anybody who has (affected sensitive issues) but at the same time, we need to be fair to the people concerned (the residents)," he said.
