IGP: PPS members arrested for challenging law

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar (pic) today said the operation to arrest members of Penang's Voluntary Patrol Unit (PPS) today was due to their stubbornness and temerity to challenge the law.

"I have given warning to not run any activity or I will make arrest but it seems that this organisation is stubborn," he said in an interview with RTM.

"They challenge the laws of our country by purposely continuing their activities."

Some 154 members in a PPS contingent were arrested immediately after they had completed a march past for the official state-level Merdeka Day celebrations at Padang Kota Lama in George Town this morning. –
