SEREMBAN: A member of the Negeri Sembilan royal family Tunku Harmy says the Home Minister must take responsibility for the violence during the Bersih 3.0 rally.
He has demanded the resignation of Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein, saying he must take responsibility for alleged police brutality during the Bersih 3.0 rally last Saturday.
Speaking at the grand finale of the “Jelajah Jom Ubah Demi Rakyat Negeri Sembilan” ceramah series on Tuesday night in Seremban, Tunku Harmy Tunku Hannan said the police had no reason to turn violent.
He said he was at the rally from noon to 11pm.
“The environment was just like we were going for a picnic at Port Dickson,” he told the large crowd. “There were elderly people and children as well. I didn’t see any bad intentions among the protesters.
Instead of protecting the protesters, the police became aggressive and beat the protesters just like a pack of wolves.
“Some people in Bersih T-shirts were wearing boots. This makes me suspicious.
“I can’t think of any other theory except that (the violence) was well planned. Hishammuddin must take the blame for the havoc and duly tender his resignation.”
Tunku Harmy also called Hishammuddin a traitor, alleging that he was responsible for allowing foreigners to hold Malaysian identity cards.
“It doesn’t matter whether the MyKad is genuine or fake. As the minister in charge of national security, he should take responsibility for letting things go out of control. The card is given to foreigners to (help BN) win the election,” he said.
“Go and check at Chow Kit Road, Selayang and other parts of Kuala Lumpur. There are countless numbers of foreigners doing business who have MyKads.”

Very bold and right of Tunku Harmyto speak out. We should have more royalty like him.
Somehow, I feel this outburst does not bode well for him.
These UMNO people are so lack of human feelings, they even sell their mothers, wives and children. 'Royalty' to them means nothing.
Take care, Tunku and a big hug for speaking out for your rakyat!!!
Tunku earned all Malaysians' utmost respect.
It is only the right action to speak out against tyranny irregardless of rank and status.
Tunku, beware, Perkasa might want to "strip" you of your citizenship!
An honest view from the Tunku.Tunku is a beacon to the hope of all right-thinking citizens for a just and fair election.The best news for today.
Tunku, a BIG tq !!
Look at you lot using the royalty when it suits you. Royalty only good when they side PR?
I seen how you all abuse and mock the Perak royalty the last time, so dont come and drama here that you are full of praises for Malay Royalties.
We do not support royalty when they side PR!!!!! read the article again dude...he is supporting BERSIH which means clean, fair and transparent elections...PR were there becoz they feel they are on the losing side when fair elections are concerned...
We support anyone who is fair, not racist, and who wants to see power returned to the PEOPLE!!!!!!
Anon 11.03PM,
Be honest and learn to give CREDIT when and where it is due. Don't be a jackass bringing in the Perak royalty because nobody including you can deny that the Perak takeover by BN was facilitated by the compromised royalty.
It is most timely that royalties such as Tunku Harmy speak up when their rakyat are being harassed, intimidated and brutally suppressed by a regime bent on holding on to power.
What Tunku says is not from what he heard or read from the media. He was there from noon to 11.00pm and was a eye witness to the atrocities committed by PDRM at the behest of the Home Minister.
Accepting responsibility for any disastrous scandals that undermine the integrity of the nation has never been and is not the norm among our leaders. In countries such as Japan, South Korea or the UK, ministers might out of shame or a sense of responsibility for even misdemeanour, but such action will NEVER happen in Bolehland.
In fact not only the Home Minister but the PM too should resign for traumatizing the BERSIH 3.0 participants by using the PDRM, chemically laced water and uncalled for police brutality.
Publicity stunts such as visiting the injured at hospitals and setting up a panel of inquiry are not going to fool the public.
Crying out loud that BERSIH3.0 organizers were out to overthrow the government by a coup d'etat is far fetched and doesn't stand to scrutiny.
LIES, MORE LIES AND DOUBLE SPEAK seem to be the order of the day!
Brave Tunku Harmyto to speak the truth straight from your HEART! Syabas.
Hope you are self-supporting n not collect ''stipend'' from the Govt being from the Royal household. Or else it will be cut-off.
Your belief put the Perak Royalty to shame.

Naive of you to call these BN/UMNO scums "leaders of a nation".
These scums do not see it that way. For them, it is their divine right to hold the power over you creatures called "rakyat". They take anything they want because everything belongs them them, even the lives of you creatures.
These scums have never intended to lead anyone. They just want to rob and plunder Malaysia as long as they hold the office. They are just robbers and thieves in nice clothes, nice cars and nice houses all paid by you creatures.
Understand???
And Hishammuddin said that he did not give any orders to the Police. Hmmm must sack the IGP then for the violence of PDRM.......I am sure NFA will come into force.....
din said SOP but igp : NO NO NO !
After a long time, I feel like the Royals are worth something. I wish they spoke up when the Rakyat were beaten up during Bersih 1 and 2.0 or during Hindraf trying to submit their memorandum to the King.
If every member of the Royal families voice out when the ruling government do something wrong, this country wouldn't have come to this point. A lot more can be avoided. But at least every thing has a begining. I just hope more of them voice out for the sake of the Rakyat.
If they don't sooner or later the Rakyat will start questioning the purpose of having them.
Well Spoken Tunku Harmy.Rare are those found among such royalty that speaks with true courage and with truth. You have all my support and I salute you. Maybe I will shift to stay in Negri Sembilan, knowing we have such members of royalty who are not afraid to offend men when truth is required.
Come to Sabah, then you know who are the real holders of Mykads - the PATI.
