KLANG: Businessman K.P. Samy, who posted bail for the 64 Hindraf supporters charged with causing mischief and participating in an illegal assembly, says the authorities are preventing him from travelling abroad.
Samy, who owns a travel agency, said he had a rude shock yesterday morning at the immigration counter at KL International Airport when he was told he could not leave the country.
“I was with 60 people travelling to Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and was singled out during the group check-in by an immigration officer,” said Samy.
He said that when he queried why he was not allowed to travel, the officers told him to go to the Immigration Department headquarters in Putrajaya to find out the reason.
“Finally, one of them told me that it was an instruction from the police,” said Samy.
He added this must be a new development as he had just returned from India on Monday with another tour group.
He added he could not understand why he was blocked from leaving the country as he had no pending police case or insolvency issues.
“My taxes are also up to date and I have never been a guarantor for anyone. So, why are they stopping me from leaving the country?” asked Samy.
