Syed Hamid: Reporter may be freed today
Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said today that Sin Chew Dailysenior reporter Tan Hoon Cheng may be released from Internal Security Act detention as early as today.
According to Star Online, Syed Hamid also did not rule out further arrests but said that further police action was “not expected”.
Tan, 32, was detained in Bukit Mertajam last night as part of a nationwide ISA dragnet. She is currently being held at the federal police headquarters in Bukit Aman, Kuala Lumpur.
Her involvement was allegedly linked to her article which quoted Bukit Bendera Umno division chief Ahmad Ismail who sparked the ‘Chinese squatters’ debacle.
Representatives of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) are trying to visit Tan in Bukit Aman today.
