Bersatu Youth chief slams arrest of party members
Bersatu Youth chief Hilman Idham warned that the more people arrested over the Turun Anwar rally, 'the faster the government would fall'. PETALING JAYA : Bersatu Youth chief Hilman Idham has slammed the arrests of two more party members today, believed to be in connection with the Turun Anwar rally. This comes after Furqan Hakimi, who serves as the executive secretary of Bersatu Youth's Perak chapter, and party member Syafiq Aziz were arrested earlier today. Describing the arrests as unnecessary, Hilman said the police only needed to summon the duo if their statements were required. 'That would have been enough. At most, that would take two to three hours,' he said, addressing a crowd who gathered in front of the Dang Wangi police headquarters tonight in solidarity with those detained. Hilman also said that the more people arrested over the Turun Anwar rally, 'the faster the government would fall'. 'There might not be many of us now, tonight perhaps there are 100 of us here. Tomorrow, if you arrest more (people) – then 200 (people) will gather (in solidarity with those arrested), then 300,' he said, warning that the Madani government's days in Putrajaya were limited. Hilman urged supporters to gather outside the Dang Wangi police headquarters tomorrow, at 9.30am, in solidarity with the duo. Earlier today, Bersatu Youth information chief Harris Idaham Rashid said Furqan and Syafiq were believed to have been arrested over the July 26 rally. He said an application to extend their remand is expected to be made tomorrow morning. Harris had also said the magistrate earlier today rejected an application by police to extend the remand order of two others – Bersatu leader Badrul Hisham Shaharin and Sijangkang PAS Youth chief Ikhwan Syaffiq. Both were released at 5pm today. Badrul, better known as Chegubard, was arrested by police at his home yesterday evening. Badrul said today that from the time of his arrest until he was brought before a magistrate for the remand application, he was not questioned by police. 'This clearly proves that the regime's true intention was intimidation,' he said in a Facebook post.
