“Three of them were apprehended yesterday, and were remanded for three days from today. We are applying for a remand for the two others," he told reporters.
On Saturday (April 13), at about 6pm, five men stopped and inspected a police patrol SUV, as they believed the policemen were carrying additional ballot papers in front of SJKC Chung Hua.
The booth was opened, only to reveal an emergency medical kit and a safety cone.
Meanwhile, the three suspects, aged between 36 and 50, who were detained earlier were investigated under Section 186 of the Penal Code for obstructing civil servants from carrying out their duties.
The three in orange lockup uniform arrived in the court compound at 8.30am on Monday.
