  • Sue the police and JAIS for violation of law.

  • The Home Minister must not allow this ala umno/bn high handedness of treating citizens. This is blatant abuse of powers. It is a very small family issue blown out of proportion just because some holier than thou species in the religious body is trying to impose their values on others and try to play God. The new govt. must not condone such Talibanism to flourish or it would have been a wasted effort voting them into Putrajaya.

  • This is unacceptable. Police must not abuse their power. They are not above the law. Where can you simply remand a person? You must do your homework properly. Where can you simply handcuffed a person? Siti was doing her best to protect n provide a refuge for a girl.

  • I saw the video clip on on Kini TV.
    I just cannot understand why Siti Kassim is arrested. She was not at all preventing any officer to do their duty.
    She was there just to enquire & protest why her house was raided.

  • Something fishy here!! Some authorities are jumping on the opportunity to get level with Siti even they know that there is nothing substantially to arrest or fremand her . A report may be lodge but following proper procedure do not allow an immediate arrest since the police are aware of the abuses by the victim's mother. Is there a warrant of arrest issued??
