Selangor executive council member Ronnie Liu's assistant was injured today after a scuffle with Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) officers.
Wong Chuan How, 50, suffered injuries to his leg after allegedly being pushed by MACC officers and has lodged a police report over the incident.
According to Liu, the incident took place at DAP's Sungai Pelek service centre where Wong's appointment with MACC officers was supposed to take place.
"They made an appointment to question Wong as a witness, but when they saw lawyers at the service centre, they changed their tone and said he was a suspect and must be arrested," said Liu.
Liu said Wong refused to follow the MACC officers because Menteri Besar Khalid Ibrahim had ordered all state officers to be investigated in their respective premises, after DAP political aide Teoh Beng Hock death last month.
But when the three MACC officers tried to physically remove Wong from the premises, the latter fell and was injured. He is apparently unable to walk unaided.
Liu also said MACC officers aborted their plans and were waiting for further instructions from their headquarters.
However when contacted again later for clarification, Liu said that the MACC officers had an arrest warrant with them when they had come to interview Wong.
Currently, Wong is at a hospital where an X-ray is being performed on his leg. MACC officers are also at the hospital with the intention of arresting Wong.
Liu said negotiations were underway with the MACC officers to postpone the arrest in view of Wong's injury.
