Umno Youth leader Khairy Jamaluddin says that there is too much documented evidence to show that tear gas was fired into the hospital.
“I think it’s better to just tell the truth… apologise and investigate the incident,” he said in a message on his micro-blogging site, Twitter.
Yesterday a group of doctors rejected Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai’s statement that no tear gas was shot into the compound of Tung Shin hospital as police cracked down on Bersih 2.0 supporters last Saturday.
His denial flies in the face of images shown on video sites over the Internet of tear gas being fired into the hospital compound.
DAP information chief Tony Pua has accused Liow of lying in his attempt to defend the police against allegations that they fired canisters of tear gas and used water cannons to spray chemical-laced water into the compound.
“Liow was lying through his teeth,” Pua said, commenting on Liow’s statement that wind had blown the tear gas into the hospital and that the chemical-laced water only brushed the edges of the hospital walls.
Liow, who is MCA’s deputy president, defended the police after meeting with hospital authorities.
