Bersih executive director Yap Swee Seng however said they would only go to have their statements recorded with the presence of their lawyers.
“We will go to have our statements recorded, but we have to check with our lawyers on when they are available to accompany us.
“The police cannot surprise us like this as they did not serve us a notice under Section 111 of the Criminal Procedure Code,” he told reporters after the two policemen from the Dang Wangi police station had left the office.
According to Yap, he is one of the four individuals wanted by the police to facilitate investigations under Section 9(5) of the Peaceful Assembly Act for allegedly organising a rally without a 10-day notice.
The three others are Bersih acting chairman Shahrul Aman Mohd Shaari, secretariat member Mandeep Singh and Suaram project coordinator Amir Abd Hadi.
Yap said the police left the office by 11am after taking down his particulars. He did not say when they would go to the police station.
Officers from the Dang Wangi station also visited Suaram’s office, looking for Amir.
However, Suaram project coordinator Dobby Chew informed them that Amir was not there.
On Wednesday, Dang Wangi district police chief ACP Shaharuddin Abdullah said they had identified the organisers of the demonstration and would be calling them in to record their statements.
Between 200 and 300 people were estimated to have joined the protest against the Election Commission’s (EC) redelineation report.
The new electoral boundaries were passed in the Dewan Rakyat that same day, with 129 MPs supporting the motion and 80 against it.
The report was gazetted by the king the following day.
