Several individuals questioned by police for taking part in the May 1 Bantah GST rally today decried the long wait before a police officer recorded their statements.

One of them, Shah Alam MP Khalid Samad, said this appeared to be the newfound weapon of the police against activists – “to bore us to death”.

Khalid was released on police bail, together with Batu MP Tian Chua and Jingga 13 coordinator Fariz Musa, at 9.30pm today.
