    KUALA LUMPUR: Police today arrested two men for refusing to remove a tent at Dataran Merdeka when ordered by enforcement officers of Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

     

    Kuala Lumpur police chief Datuk Mohmad Salleh said DBKL officers had earlier detained a man for refusing to remove a tent but suddenly another man came and tried to pull the other man's hand.
     
    "The second man acted aggressively by pushing the shoulder of a DBKL officer and was arrested for obstructing an officer from discharging official duties."
     
    Mohmad said the two men were  handed over to police who arrested them and seized several camping equipment and some food.
     
    Both men aged 35 and 23 years respectively are not students of institutions of higher learning.
     
    The first man was arrested under section 40 of Street, Drainage and Building Act and given police bail while the second man under section 186 of Penal Code for obstructing public officers from carrying out duties. -- BERNAMA
