IGP: Hindraf probe completed and enough evidence to proceed
JOHOR BARU: More Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf) leaders are expected to be arrested and charged in court soon.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan said police had wrapped up their investigations that would be sufficient for court action against the leaders.
"We will not go soft on parties who want to threaten the nation's peace and stability," he said, adding that police would take more drastic measures should the security situation worsen.
Commenting on recent illegal rallies, Musa told newsmen there were signs that the situation could worsen but police would only use the Internal Security Act as a last resort.
"We expect to make more arrests," he said, adding that only two rally leaders had been detained so far.
Musa, who was in the city to get vew the flood situation, said the recent illegal rallies could be due to the upcoming general elections.
"These people have proper channels to convey their intentions.
"For example, Bersih met the Election Commission which agreed to their demands. So I don't understand why they should conduct illegal rallies," he said.
Musa said the situation could be the worst in history if precautionary measures were not taken.
"We don't want another black mark in our country's history. Certain precautionary measures should be taken before the worst happens," he said.
He said he would recommend to the Bar Council that certain lawyers who were charged and found guilty of participating in illegal rallies be barred from practising law.
