SHAH ALAM: Selangor Mentri Besar Azmin Ali (pic) wants confirmation that all the people who took part in rabble rousing protest against the Datum Jelatek project were indeed local residents.
“Who are they? Are you sure they are locals and they reside there?
“Apart from En Salleh (Datuk Jelatek Action Committee chairman Salleh Samad), who are the members? Who were there present at the demo?’’ asked Azmin on Monday.
Several hundred protesters led by Salleh voiced their unhappiness that upon the completion of the project, non- Malays will come to live in the predominantly Malay area.
Azmin said that racial sentiments should not be allowed to hinder the state’s development.
When told that the demonstrators wanted to see him over their grouse, Azmin said he would await a full report on the incident.
