PERAK POLICE FORCE

10.25am: Contrary to the chaos inside the assembly, the situation outside the state secretariat building is much calmer with the police successfully dispersing the crowd.

The police have widened the no-go cordon, as a result the coffees shops are deserted.

Earlier the police ordered all those having drinks in the restaurants to leave immediately. Many left without paying for their drinks. Two refused to budge and were arrested.

I do wonder what was the justification for police have to vacate the coffee shop? Maybe the owner of the coffee shop can sue the police later or demand couple of thousand of ringgit for loss of income? Can the police in Malaysia do anything they want without regards to the law? If they do this, who is up holding the law? The Rakyat? Then why do we even need police if they can not be depend on? As far as we know, the court only ordered a 500meter vacate but Coffee shops outside this perimeter is vacated by police, why?
