Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar has refused to comment on conflicting statements if the Taman Medan protest on Sunday was seditious.

"I have said it (yesterday), I don't want to repeat myself," he said.

Khalid promised the police would investigate any reports on the protest, but repeatedly shot down queries on which section it would be investigated.

"We will investigate all reports, I've said this five times already," he said before ending the press conference.

Khalid earlier told reporters not to sensationalise the issue.

"The situation has calmed down, so I urge all parties, including (news) portals not to sensationalise this issue.

"Don't play up sentiments, this is not good for our multi religious and multi racial country.

"So let the authorities, the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ), the state government, and the police investigate the matter," he said.

On Sunday, a group of protesters held a demonstration outside a church in Taman Desa, urging the church to take down its cross.

The church conceded to their demand, but the matter sparked an outrage including from Muslims who feel the protesters were being oversensitive.

Yesterday, the police chief said the protest was not seditious .

Soon after this, Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi stressed that the protesters breached the Sedition Act 1948 .
