00:00Balloon seller Muhammad Zaimuddin Azlan lodged a police report on Sunday over injuries he

00:07sustained in March during an altercation with Kuala Lumpur City Hall or DBKL officers.

00:13A tearful Muhammad Zaimuddin, who was accompanied by his mother, Hasnah Mat, during a press

00:19conference, said he was only earning a living for himself and for his family.

00:23If I'm poor, do I have trash cans?

00:26Can DBKL treat me like trash?

00:30I have dignity.

00:32I thank everyone who helped me.

00:36I want to change.

00:38It's not easy to be poor and difficult.

00:41I will fight because this is a cruel thing.

00:46On the power side,

00:49please take care of your integrity.

00:51Please act according to the law.

00:54I'm just trying to find a way for myself and my family.

00:59We also want to live like other people.

01:04His lawyer, Rafiq Rashid, said they are considering legal action when the full medical report

01:09is obtained.

01:10He also questioned claims Muhammad Zaimuddin had a previous criminal record.

01:16This comes after reports cited a source saying the balloon trader has 13 prior criminal records,

01:22mostly related to narcotics.

01:25Rafiq also urged the Attorney General's Chambers to hear the trader's side of the story before

01:30making any decision.

01:32Recently, it was reported that two of the three investigation papers initiated following

01:38the altercation between the balloon vendor and DBKL officers have been referred to the

01:43AGC.

01:45Following the incident, DBKL said it will review its procedures and investigate the

01:50scuffle between its enforcement officers and the balloon seller.
