STOP INCITING VIA SMS, TWITTER AND FACEBOOK, SAYS IGP

JOHOR BAHARU (Johor, Malaysia), July 11 (Bernama) -- Inspector-General of Police Ismail Omar has reminded certain groups to stop inciting the people through the short messaging service (SMS), twitter and facebook in retaliation for the failure of the illegal rally, Bersih 2.0, in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday.

He said such acts were most dangerous and could lead to chaos and thus should be stopped immediately.

"We urge the people to think wisely and participate in maintaining national peace. This responsibility does not lie with the police alone," he said.

He said this to reporters after the presentation of Accreditation
Certificates to trainees of the Police Undergraduate Voluntary Corps at the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), here Sunday.

A total of 1,024 trainees received the accreditation involving 19 public institutions of higher learning throughout the country.

He said after the presentation ceremony that police had released 1,667 people on police bail for being involved in the rally.

He said investigation papers would be opened against them and follow-up action would be taken.
