The Penang government is reportedly concerned about public order and safety after a senior civil servant was assaulted in the presence of police during the demolition of illegal structures in Teluk Bahang a couple of days ago (See Malaysian Insider).

Look at these two reports: MCA condemns Umno Youth for attack on enforcement officers http://www.themalaymailonline.com/malaysia/article/mca-condemns-umno-youth-for-attack-on-enforcement-officers AGAIN Perkasa, Pekida, Umno-linked groups spotted: Ops on traders turn VIOLENT http://www.malaysia-chronicle.com/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=217171:again-perkasa-pekida-umno-linked-groups-spotted-ops-on-traders-turn-violent&Itemid=2 The finger was being pointed at UMNO Youth, and “Umno-linked” groups. Certainly Reezal Merican, UMNO MP for Kepala Batas was highly vocal at (a recent) protest. The protest was a blatantly political affair, with all sorts of inflammatory statements and accusations hurled with the flimsiest of grounds or none at all. Quite conveniently, the fact that Najib’s administration’s gross mismanagement and wastage of public funds, on top of the ever more rampant corruption… Read more »
