The real "samseng" in Ijok

Chaos at Jaya Setia polling station
IJOK: The tense situation in Ijok over the past week spilled over to polling day Saturday with the situation turning chaotic at the Jaya Setia polling station.
The day started quite well with an early morning shower bringing temperatures down but it failed to cool down the emotions of the supporters.
Supporters of both camps shouted slogans and traded insults from the time the stations were opened at 8am.
Opposition supporters at the Jaya Setia went a step further and made an attempt to block Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak’s motorcade near the polling station, marring the otherwise well-controlled situation.
Speaking at a press conference here later, Najib said the incident occurred as he was heading to the Jaya Setia polling station at about 11am as part of his visit to all the polling stations.
As the Barisan Nasional booth was located beside the Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) booth, the motorcade had to pass the latter to get through.
A group of about 50 opposition supporters moved in front of the vehicle Najib was travelling in and blocked his way.
“We then turned to move around them through a lane nearby but they blocked that path too,” he said.
After about five minutes the police arrived at the scene and they too were aggressively shoved aside as they tried to get near the deputy prime minister’s car.
The police however managed to bring the situation under control and cleared the way for the motorcade to pass through.
A few punches were also traded between opposition and Barisan Nasional supporters as the latter group arrived to protect the DPM's motorcade.
No one was hurt in the incident although a police motorcycle was damaged.
After the visit, the deputy prime minister’s vehicle managed to leave the booth without problems but opposition supporters placed flower pots in the path of the rest of the motorcade and one of the supporters even sat on the hood of the first car.
The rowdy situation continued for about 10 minutes before the police once again intervened to allow the cars to leave.
The tension started growing as soon as the nine polling stations were opened at 8am and it was especially bad at the Bukit Badong, Tuan Mee and Jaya Setia polling stations.
“I visited all the polling stations and the situation was under control everywhere except the Jaya Setia station.
“It is a public road and it should be open for everyone including Barisan Nasional and PKR members to use without obstruction,” he said, adding that supporters should show respect for the democratic process and not cause any interference.



tunku : what is pkr trying to show us here by acting like gangsters? it is a stupid act by a moron leads party.people judge your act.by right the police should put those who block a deputy prime minister's car in jail as this was a threat to his safety.but then again police had been very lenient to them.later they tried to stop to buses which carries the wanita umno volunteers and broke the bus front screen.they did this at Lunas by election and now at Ijok.The GANGSTER from BN is the SIL, THE MIGHTY KAYJAY, from nomination day till polling day he was there to creat havoc.
