The police are to record a statement from the human resources manager of Pelita Koridor Sdn Bhd, publisher of the now-suspended Suara Keadilan .

Police officer Rejali Ak Angong from the Putrajaya district police headquarters contacted Rohani Abd Rahman yesterday in connection with the issue that front-paged an article claiming that the Federal Land Development Authority is “bankrupt”.

azlan The Home Ministry had issued the publisher a show-cause letter, which was received on July 2.

When contacted, editor Dzulkarnain Taib expressed unhappiness that Rohani is being “harassed” over a letter sent by the ministry.

“Why are the police doing the work of the Home Ministry?” he asked.

Rohani claimed in the online version of Suara Keadilan that she had given an oral statement over the phone but that the officer had insisted on her presence at the police station for the statement to be recorded.

She also requested an official notice so that she can go to the police station without fear for her safety. The officer was said to have agreed, saying that the notice would also state the date for her to report to the station.

Non-serial publication

Dzulkarnain also said that PKR would continue publishing its organ on a weekly basis, but as a non-serial publication.

NONE The third issue, renamed Sinar Keadilan , was released yesterday, following the publication of Keadilan and Obor Keadilan .

The Printing Presses and Publications Act allows one-off publications to be printed without a permit, implying that the publication must have a unique name each time.

This follows the Home Ministry’s suspension of the party’s publishing permit for Suara Keadilan which had expired on July 7.

The ministry claimed it was dissatisfied with the publisher’s responses to four show-cause letters.

On July 18, Dzulkarnain was questioned by police over a Home Ministry complaint that an official secret had been published in Keadilan and that PKR had published the issue without a permit.

Yesterday, the online version of Suara Keadilan reported that the Home Ministry had seized copies of Obor Keadilan in the Klang Valley.

A distributor, Yusni Mat Isa, claimed that officers had taken photos of stores selling the publication.

Operators were also forbidden from continuing to sell the newsletter, as it had been published without a permit, he said.

Dzulkarnain said the ministry had seized at least 1,000 copies from stores nationwide.
