Cops probe alleged provocation at Putrajaya National Day celebration
Putrajaya police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed says four reports over the incident were received on Aug 31 and Sept 1.
The Putrajaya police are investigating allegations of provocation at the National Day celebration held at Dataran Putrajaya. According to Putrajaya police chief Aidi Sham Mohamed, four reports were received regarding the incident on August 31 and September 1. The alleged provocation involved a man in an orange or brown shirt pushing and shoving members of the public who were waiting for the gates to open, causing several people to fall.
The suspect can be heard in a Facebook video urging people to climb over barriers and shouting at a police officer about delayed gate openings. Police allege that the incident took place around 5am on August 31 and could be linked to Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for inciting public disorder, Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for misuse of network facilities, and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 for insulting behavior.
The police have called for witnesses to come forward and the suspect to appear at the Putrajaya police headquarters for questioning.
