"Over the last 11 years, thousands upon thousands of police reports have been made against those who walk in the corridors of power. But almost every single report has ended up in the NFA (No Further Action) tray....You can take to the streets, said the police. You can even win the general elections.
But we own the guns and we decide who gets to form the government...
I remember what one Deputy Director of the Special Branch once told me.
When the May 13 race riots broke out, Bukit Aman held a briefing for all its officers and the instructions to the officers was:
'you are Malays first and police officers second.
Your job is to defend Malay political power and dominance'."

"The police are taking a political stand by preventing a legally constituted assembly from sitting. The pPolice have shown that they are not the guardians of public safety but of Barisan National and this is regrettable."

This is a real test of the whether our institutions are truly independent.
Our institutions, that is the courts, the police and so on,
are being tested and we can judge for ourselves
whether they are acting independently or not.
We are very surprised the police is ignoring the Speaker.
The secretary has absolutely no right nor authority at all
to question the validity and legality of the sitting.
