Dang Wangi district police chief Suzilme Affendy Sulaiman sustained injuries to his head during an eviction operation against defiant Kampung Sungai Baru residents in Kuala Lumpur.
The police officer is understood to have been hurt when chaos broke out after several disgruntled residents attempted to force their way into the area.
Images of Suzilme following the altercation showed him with blood streaking down his face from an apparent head wound.
The operation, which also involved the cutting of electricity supply, began early this morning and was led by court bailiffs in cooperation with several related agencies.
There was heavy police presence, restricting access to the affected homes to those with security passes only.
Objects hurled
When the disgruntled residents were blocked by riot police, they resorted to hurling objects, including stones, at the authorities. Suzilme is believed to have been struck by one of the projectiles.
Police then issued a stern warning to the residents to disperse, which they eventually complied with.
Suzilme was later brought to the hospital for treatment.
Today’s eviction is the second attempt since July by authorities to oust 14 residents in the enclave, which is adjacent to Kampung Baru.
The eviction, which is being carried out via court order, is to facilitate the redevelopment of the area by KL City Gateway Sdn Bhd.
The majority of residents have moved out after accepting a buyout deal from the company.
The visual story is, the village folks are harming a loyal agent of the state in exercising his official duty. The bloody head is front and centre in the framing...apa lah aku orang kampung berdepan dengan kuasa dan uang pembesar kaya raya?
