Seafield temple clashes: 68 arrested so far, says IGP
Sixty-eight people have been arrested so far to facilitate investigation in connection with last week's clashes at the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in USJ 25, Subang Jaya in Selangor - up from 58 people last week, said inspector-general of police Mohamad Fuzi Harun.
“”We (police) cannot estimate how many more will be arrested because it depends on investigation which is being conducted intensively in Selangor," he added.
He told this to reporters after presenting the ‘Jasa Pahlawan Negara’ medal to 414 police officers and personnel from the Sabah police contingent in Papar.
On the current situation at the temple, Fuzi said it was under control with policemen, as well as personnel from the General Operations Force and the Federal Reserve Unit, still stationed there to monitor the area.
He also advised the people to be responsible when disseminating information through the social media, including on the temple incident.
“The problem is when a video which is not related at all is made to go viral, and linked to the temple incident, and there are also statements from certain quarters, in the country and abroad, which caused uneasiness among many quarters.
“I hope all quarters will be responsible and not worsen the situation,” he added.

Who says it's not our fault?
We aren’t trained to take responsibility.
Everytime we observe an injustice - and choose to keep mum - the prevalence of injustice becomes our fault.
Astute journalism paves the way for the public to be continuously furnished with the fastidious truth. You are continuously empowered to act and to uphold the integrity of the nation.

The Rakyat owns Malaysiakini
We choose to take a risk on independent media because we believe that only through independent reporting can one be NOT beholden to the interest of businesses or organisations. This allows us to really pursue the truth - aggressively.
Malaysiakini.
Independent for 20 years.

Speaking truth to power
When we embarked on this journey 20 years ago, we knew we would face intimidation, harassment, raids, arrests and perhaps even jail terms. We got into this venture with our eyes wide open.
The main reason we have survived this long - when many others have folded - is partly because we are prudent in our finances. But while we may be tightfisted in our budgeting, we do not hold back when it comes to speaking truth to power and holding power to account. And certainly, this new administration will not stop us from continuing to do so.

You make Malaysiakini what it is.
You make Malaysia what it is.
