A Parti Sosialis Malaysia (PSM) activist in Penang was detained by police this morning after he protested the eviction of some residents at the Padang Tembak PPR (people’s public housing) flats.

“They were detained for obstructing public servants (from doing their jobs),” he told The Malaysian Insight.
Later in the evening, Bukit Bendera MP Wong Hon Wai, whose constituency covers Padang Tembak in Kebun Bunga and who was roped in to assist the detained duo, said they had been released on police bail.
In late December, Karthiges assisted five families in highlighting their plight after they were ordered to vacate their PPR units at the Padang Tembak flats.
They had claimed that the state had given them “unreasonable excuses” for their eviction.
