| Kedah police deny arresting Anwar look-alike Posted: 21 Apr 2013 08:12 AM PDT PETALING JAYA: Kedah police denied arresting any "clone" of Opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Kedah CPO Datuk Ahmad Ibrahim said they did not come across any individual from Thailand who looked like Anwar. "Allegations that we detained Anwar's clone is baseless," he said, adding that looking like someone else was not a criminal offence that warranted arrest. He said this in response to an article on an online portal that claimed that Anwar's clone had returned to Thailand and vowed to return (to Malaysia) to reveal the truth. PKR's Sungai Acheh candidate Badrul Hisham Shahrin had reportedly claimed that two individuals from Thailand had failed to attend the "Revelation of Anwar clone" ceramah in Permatang Pauh on Friday because the police had arrested them in Kedah. The ceramah was aimed at clearing Anwar's name following the release of a sex video two years ago showing a man resembling Anwar in compromising positions with a female dubbed the "China doll". |
| GE13: 70 Beruas DAP members quit to show dissapointment in incumbent Ngeh Posted: 21 Apr 2013 07:26 AM PDT SITIAWAN: 70 DAP members in Beruas have quit the party to show their disappointment over incumbent MP Datuk Ngeh Koo Ham's service to the community. DAP Changkat Kruing branch chairman G.K. Haridas said those who quit comprised members from his branch, Pantai Remis and Taman Bintang. He claimed that Ngeh had not done good job serving his constituency, especially those from the Indian community. "Even state Gerakan chairman Datuk Chang Ko Youn, who is not the Beruas MP, had been serving the local community diligently in the last few years," he told reporters in Pantai Remis Sunday. Haridas, who had been a DAP member for five years, said they had no intention of joining any political party for now, but would support BN candidates. When contacted, Ngeh, who is also Perak DAP chairman, said it was the third time Haridas and his supporters had threatened to leave DAP. "So far, the party has not received any quit letter from them," he said. When contacted, Ngeh, who is also state DAP chairman, denied the allegation made by Haridas and his supporters. "My service team and I, who had been serving in our constituency, are offended by such baseless accusation. "I challenge the group, and even Chang to visit to my office so that I could show them exactly how many local issues we have helped solved," he said. Ngeh said Haridas and the so-called DAP members' had threatened to leave DAP for the third time. "However, the party had not received any quit letter from them so far," he said.
