PKR is upset that the police failed to issue the party with a permit to hold a ceramah yesterday, ostensibly because Friday and Saturday were holidays in Terengganu. "It is strange that with 6,000 police personnel, they cannot administer the issuance of permits," PKR information chief Tian Chua told a press conference in Kuala Terengganu today. Chua said it was inexcusable for the police to use the holiday as a reason to shirk their duties. "Can you imagine, if you lost your identity card? Will they say ‘Today is a Friday and because it is a holiday, and I’m not taking this report’. I regret that the police have this attitude," he lamented. Chua added that under normal circumstances, for example during the Permatang Pauh by-election, party workers merely had to inform the police on the details of the ceramah and did not need to obtain a permit. "But we still respect the police and followed procedures. But for two days, we were told that it was not a working day and the office was closed," he said. (Source: PKR irked by police 'holiday') Strange indeed. Police on holiday during weekends? I think reason being maybe criminals also have started to holiday during weekends. Work only on weekdays but longer hours. So, police just follow suit lor.
