The Consumers Association of Subang and Shah Alam Selangor (Cassa) appeals to the Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan to take action against any quarter abusing the system of police reports for private political agendas and to undermine political opponents.

Cassa makes this call in view of the recent upsurge of individuals and political groups abusing the system of making reports in undermining their political opponents.

There are also allegations that some of them are privately-financed individuals doing the political bidding of their political masters.

Cassa is especially concerned about the police report made against deputy minister M Saravanan for allegedly being involved in the supply of college girls to prominent people for sex.

We are disgusted with the said politician who made the allegation for his failure to make available the evidence to support his bizarre and unsubstantiated allegations against the deputy minister.

We urge the police to instead charge the said politician in public interest for making a false police report. Such an action will deter future political predators from abusing the system of police reports to conduct a media trial to politically assassinate their political opponents.

Cassa has worked with Saravanan for over two decades on major issues pertaining to the rights, interest and needs of marginalised communities and consumer affairs and is shocked to hear of such a blatant allegation which we believe has absolutely no substance whatsoever.

As far as Cassa is concerned this is a ‘political assassination’ - no more no less and the maker of that police report should be immediately charged for making a false police report.

Cassa also wants the police to investigate the said politician in view recent allegations from members of his own party.

The writer is president, Cassa.
