IGP @KBAB51: No double standards, Ali Tinju arrested
Police have detained Gerakan Merah leader Mohamad Ali Baharom, also known as Ali Tinju, after he purportedly threatened Bersih chief Maria Chin Abdullah, Khalid Abu Bakar said today.
The inspector-general of police said they recorded Ali Tinju’s statement before releasing him on police bail soon afterwards.
Khalid also warned all quarters not to blindly accuse the police of practising double standard.
“The actions were the same. There is no double standard. We summoned Ali Tinju, he came to us immediately. I called him in at 8am, at 8.30am he already came to us.
“He immediately surrendered himself, we arrested him, recorded his statement and let him go on bail after that. Same with (DAP’s Jelutong MP) Jeff Ooi and any other.
“Don’t try to accuse us of double standard and whatnot. If you don’t know, ask first. Don’t make unfounded allegations,” Khalid told a press conference after officiating the 1Aman Week community outreach programme in Putrajaya.

We will not let Red Shirts and Yellow Shirts clash, says IGP
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar assured he will not let the pro-BN Red Shirts clash with Bersih 5 protestors.
“We will not allow such a clash to occur. Whatever the case we will have to look at their notice to us. We will take action when the time comes,” he said.
Khalid was commenting on Himpunan Merah leaders’ threats to stalk Bersih activists during their roadshow in October and face off against the yellow-clad protestors during the Nov 19 rally.
Commenting further, Khalid said that per existing laws, police will facilitate and allow peaceful rallies, but not if they are designed to topple the national leadership.
IGP said groups that want to organise peaceful rallies or demonstrations must send in their notice, as per current laws, to the police within the stipulated ten-day period so that they can make preparations.
“We will not object as long as the gathering is allowed by the laws and the constitution. But any gathering aimed at toppling national leaders is expressly not allowed.
