I wanted to avoid a confrontation, says Syed Saddiq on ruckus

KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Bersatu Youth Chief Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman says he backed off and escaped by jumping over the fence before going onto a small path to avoid confrontation with the “uninvited” group, following the advice of the organiser and police.

The Youth and Sports Minister said he had personally contacted the Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Abdul Hamid Bador for advice after a group of about 200 people gatecrashed the gathering he was attending at Ulu Tiram, Johor on Friday (Jan 31) and refused to leave when they were asked to do so.
