Chee Siok Chin to
police: Produce evidence or retract statement

18 Mar 08
The allegation made by the police that I had "tried to bite a
female police officer when the
latter tried to arrest her" and that I had "attack(ed)" her is a
serious one. It is also a lie.
The statement made it look as if I had resisted arrest by trying to
bite one of the police officers as they were leading me to the
police van. The numerous clips that have been posted on the
Internet have proven that this never took place.
The press statement issued by the police is malicious. Its intent
is obvious.
If the police have evidence that I had attacked or even attempted
to attack an officer, then they should produce it.
Otherwise they must retract the slanderous and scandalous
statement, failing which I shall consider taking action against
them.

Monkey see, monkey do
In 2007 Mr Tian Chua, Chief Information Officer of the Parti
KeAdilan Rakyat was also accused of biting an officer when he was
arrested during a protest in Malaysia. Mr Chua, now a member of
parliament, documented the lie in his blog.
Now it is the Singapore police's turn to fabricate such lies to
demonise protesters...
