(Sept 21): Parti Amanah Negara (Amanah) president Mohamad Sabu today was summoned by police to record his statement over the Bersih 4 rally held at the end of last month.

Popularly known as Mat Sabu, the Amanah leader spent about one hour being questioned by police at the Kuala Lumpur district police headquarters in Jalan Dang Wangi, over his participation in the rally, which had been declared illegal by the authorities.

He arrived at the Dang Wangi police headquarters about 11am and was accompanied by two lawyers.

"The interview (statement taken) went well, so we just have to wait whether they will charge me or not," he told reporters after the questioning.

He added that police have yet specify his offence but for now was being investigated under the Section 4 (2)(c) of Peaceful Assembly Act for participating in an unlawful assembly.

"They only asked me about the rally but I chose not to answer their questions." he said.

Several opposition and civil society leaders have been called by police over the 34-hour rally which demanded institutional reform and the resignation of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Unlike Mat Sabu, Selangor Menteri Besar Mohamed Azmin Ali was previously quizzed by police regarding the use of the banned Bersih T-shirts and was probed under three different sections relating to his involvement in the rally.

Azmin was also questioned over remarks made about Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar during the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign.

Azmin is being investigated under Section 42F of the Peaceful Assembly Act, Section 8 regarding the use of the banned T-shirts, and Section 41C of the Peaceful Assembly Act.

PKR vice-president Tian Chua, former Bersih co-chair Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan, Kapar MP G. Manivanan and Selangor exco Elizabeth Wong were also investigated for wearing the Bersih 4 T-shirt, which the government had declared illegal in an order made under the Printing, Presses and Publications Act 1984. – The Malaysian Insider
