00:00Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said in a Facebook post on Thursday
00:07that the authorities will take firm action against those who incite violence
00:12or misuse the right to assemble in connection with the Kampung Sungai Baru redevelopment dispute.
00:18Saifuddin condemned the assault on Dangwangi OCPD Assistant Commissioner Suzilme Effendi Sulaiman,
00:24who sustained a head injury during Thursday's operation,
00:27calling it despicable, uncivilized and unacceptable.
00:33Saifuddin said national security and integrity of the authorities are priorities that must be defended.
00:39Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had earlier also condemned the attack,
00:44saying that the right to assemble should not be abused for political interests.
00:49Police have detained several individuals in connection with the incident,
00:52which occurred when enforcement teams tried to move into the site to cut electricity supply
00:58and demolish several homes under a court order.
01:02ACP Suzilme sustained the head injury, believed to have been caused by a rock hurled at him.
01:08The eviction stems from a long-running dispute over a redevelopment project
01:12first proposed in 2016 to replace Salango Development Corporation flats
01:18and terrace houses with a high-rise mixed development.
01:22While most flat residents consented, some terrace house owners resisted, causing years of delay.
01:28The developer invoked the Land Acquisition Act 1960 to proceed with the project.
