Haaah..... Why the police is so polite now? The accuser didn't turn up at the police station on Tuesday and the police politely reschedule to today (Wednesday). Can we say this as double standard? What happen to Anwar last time? What do you think?

Police to wrap up Ahmad Ismail probe by this week

By BERNARD SEE

GEORGE TOWN: Police are still waiting for Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail to give his statement over his allegedly seditious remarks last week.

State deputy police chief Senior Asst Comm (I) Datuk Salleh Mat Rasid said an investigating officer contacted the Umno leader early this week, asking him to turn up at the Bukit Mertajam district police headquarters on Tuesday.

"But he never turned up and the interview was rescheduled to today (Wednesday). Five reports have been lodged against him in George Town, Bukit Mertajam, Kuala Lumpur and Petaling Jaya over the past week.

"Once Ahmad gives his statement, we will wrap up our investigations by Friday as most of the statements have been taken. The file will then be sent to the Attorney-General in Putrajaya for further action," he told reporters at a press conference Tuesday morning.

SAC Salleh urged the people not to raise the issue, which is being investigated under 4 (1) (b) of the Sedition Act 1948, and asked that the public let the police do their work.

Ahmad had allegedly called the Chinese pendatang (immigrants) at a ceramah while campaigning for the Permatang Pauh by-election. His statement caused furore and condemnation from various political parties both within the Barisan Nasional and outside.

Attempts to contact Ahmad over the past few days to get his side of the story have been unsuccessful.

A check by The Star around noon Wednesday found Ahmad's bungalow in the exclusive Robina Park in Butterworth deserted.
