Hamzah: Arrests over 'secret society' funeral procession made only after rites were performed


IPOH: Five individuals who took part in a funeral procession in Kuala Lumpur, where the hearse bore the logo of a secret society, were arrested after the final rites, says Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin.

The Home Minister clarified that this, however, did not mean police did not perform their duties because arresting the five during the funeral procession would not have been appropriate.
