Liow Soon Hee, 29, was re-arrested by an anti-narcotics team from the Dang Wangi police station outside the Ampang Jaya Sessions Court as soon as he posted bail totalling RM17,000 for the four charges he faced in connection with the alleged assault.

The Rela members Liow allegedly assaulted are Lee Weng Poh, 27; Melvin Cheong Mun Khai, 21; and Leong Jun Jie, 21. They were assaulted at the compound of the Kou Ong Yah Temple, Jalan Merdeka, Kampung Baru Ampang here at 6.30am on Oct 27.

Lee, Cheong and Leong, suffered injuries to the head, eye and abdomen after being allegedly beaten and kicked by the suspect.

The victims claimed that the incident occurred after they had asked the “Datuk Seri” to move his Toyota Vellfire MPV parked on the side of the main road, as it was obstructing traffic.

Selangor CID chief SAC Fadzil Ahmad, when contacted, confirmed the re-arrest and said Liow was brought from the court complex to the Dang Wangi police station at 5pm.

“He (Liow) is the individual police were looking for in relation to a past drug case,” he said.
