Description

A mammoth crowd at the Stutong Market, near here, watched in shocked disbelief as police attempted to muzzle Sarawak DAP founder Chong Siew Siang who was speaking on stage at the party’s last ceramah.

Kuching district police chief Mun Kok Keong rushed to the stage and seized the microphone from Chong and demanded that DAP stop the rally.

Chong was in the midst of addressing the 35,000-strong crowd who had gathered there.

The ensuing scuffle just below the stage, which was relayed on two big screens, surprised the crowd who started shouting ‘Ubah, Ubah!’ and booing the police.
