The demonstration on Selangor water tariffs that started from the Masjid Negara this afternoon saw at least 52 people arrested. According to Subang MP Sivarasa Rasiah who reported from Cheras general operations force police station, there were 52 being held there, including PKR member Zahir Hassan. Among the 52, 5 were students.
Police fired their water cannons and tear gas at the crowd in the vicinity of the Masjid, and about 300 police personnel marched into the protestors after the latter had failed to disperse despite continuous reminders to do so. As the procession headed slowly towards the Istana Negara as planned, at least 20 tear gas shells, possibly more, were fired to break up the protest.
Suhakam commissioner Mohd Shaani Abdullah said their personnel noticed some unprofessional conduct by the police who mendera (attack) and maki hamun (shout abuses) at the people.

What do you expect from our Police, they were never with Rakyat. Let us just ignore them and uphold our objective to pull BN down.
