A DAP state representative has called on the police to act against MCA members for showing the tumultuous May 7 Perak assembly sitting without a 'B' certificate from the Malaysian Film Censorship Board.

The DVD was shown during the MCA 60th anniversary state dinner in Ipoh on Sunday. Among those present were party president Ong Tee Keat.

"I was arrested at 10.30pm and released on police bail only at 1am the next day," he added.

Ong said it is absurd for the police to ask for the B certificate as an application must be submitted to the board stating the film cost, the name of the producer and the director before the certificate is issued.

"So, likewise the police must take similar action against MCA members for not producing the certificate during their screening of the assembly video clip last Sunday.

"Also the police must demand the B certificate for the 50,000 DVDs from (BN-MCA exco) Mah (Heng Soon) before allowing him to distribute the DVDs to the public.

"We cannot have two sets of rules, whereby one rule is applied on us where we are being persecuted and the other rule that allows MCA to go scot free," he added.

'Trace my attacker'

Wong said DAP's version of the assembly sitting does not have this scene.

"Two days ago when I viewed the BN Chinese and English versions of the video clip, I saw the blurred image of my attacker but could not identify him.

"Yesterday, a friend gave me a copy of the BN clip and today at 11am I lodged a police report at the Ipoh district police headquarters calling on them to investigate the matter," he added.

He said the police should get the unedited version from Mah and trace the attacker.
