Home Minister agreed that Police had made a big mistake in Perak

KOTA BARU: Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar admitted that the police made mistakes in handling the Perak State Assembly fiasco on Tuesday.“If we study the situation in toto, we can see the mistakes made by the police. But I think the Bar Council should look at the situation from the point of law.“In the first place, it was decided that the Speaker had been banned from convening a meeting and if he enters the State Assembly building, it would be trespassing.“When one trespasses, it is the duty of the police to stop him,” Syed Hamid said.The incident Syed Hamid was referring to took place on Tuesday morning, when police prevented Pakatan Rakyat assemblymen, including former Perak mentri besar Datuk Seri Mohd Nizar Jamaluddin, from entering the state secretariat building in Ipoh to hold an emergency sitting of the state assembly.
