Isu stiker #TangkapNajib: Polis jangan bertindak melulu – Musa Hassan

Bekas Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Musa Hassan menyifatkan tindakan polis menahan seorang wanita kerana menampal stiker #TangkapNajib di Sarawak adalah melampau.

Menurutnya, wanita tersebut tidak perlu ditahan tetapi boleh dinasihatkan untuk tidak mengulangi kesilapannya kembali.

“Saya berpendapat tidak perlu ditahan dan tiada kesalahan yang boleh disabitkan terhadap wanita itu.

“Mungkin boleh diberikan nasihat dan diambil keterangan pada waktu itu sudah mencukupi,” katanya ketika dihubungi The Rakyat Post.

Beliau menganggap tindakan wanita itu adalah sebahagian daripada kebebasan ekspresi rakyat yang tidak boleh dikenakan tindakan secara melulu.

Menurutnya, polis sepatutnya menahan mereka yang memulakan #TangkapNajib kerana memanipulasi minda rakyat.

“Tidak perlu menahan rakyat dan polis perlu mencari sumber yang memulakan perkara ini kerana rakyat tidak memahami fakta sebenar,” katanya.

Beliau menegaskan polis tidak sepatutnya bertindak melulu dalam melaksanakan tugas kerana ianya akan menjejaskan imej Polis Diraja Malaysia.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — A woman in Kuching was questioned by police today over a “#TangkapNajib” sticker she had affixed to her car.

According to Murnie Hidayah, nearly 10 police officers has approached her in Satok, Kuching yesterday to question her over the sticker that they believed referenced Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

“I just finished giving my statement, I was investigated under Section 504. The statement taking went for two hours,” she told Malay Mail Online.

“They asked me if the sticker had anything to do with Prime Minister Najib, I refused to answer and maintained my right to be silent,” the lawyer added.

Section 504 pertains to intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace and is punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both upon conviction.

The authorities had also removed the sticker from the car after taking her statement to “assist with investigations”, Murnie said when providing pictures of the incident.
