I refer to your Aliran urges police to halt Malaysiakini probe .

I wish to emphasise here that, in my opinion, it is only appropriate that we permit the police to conduct a complete and, hopefuly, unbiased investigation into the report implicating members of the police force having been involved for the pepper spray attack on Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

The fact that malaysiakini did file the report is justification for such investigation, the retracting and apologising for such inaccurate reporting notwithstanding.

If we demand that the police act fairly towards all, then we ought never to insist that malaysiakini be treated differently, no?

If malaysiakini feels that it has not done anything wrong on purpose and, based on the fact that it was willing to apologise for such incident, then, most probably the police probe would be procedural in nature, nothing more, nothing less.

Now, having said that, may I query what is the police going to do about the numerous reports made over the years by non-governmental organisations, as well as opposition parties, on similar transgressions done by the authorities in power?

I'll wait with bated breath...
