BERSIH GRATITUTE TO KK POLICE

Dear ACP Ahmad Sofi Zakaria,

TO THE KK police force, we would like to give you our deepest thanks for your kind professionalism on the BERSIH Sabah event on the 28th April 2012.

We all value the safety of the residents of KK area, and we highly appreciated that the KK police force respected our Constitutional rights to assembly peacefully on that day, especially since we had cooperated by providing notice of our intended assembly.

We have received many comments by fellow participants who appreciated the professionalism by the KK police force, particularly in assisting in traffic control, and this simple act has made many Sabahans proud of their state.

We especially thank the Police Commissioner Datuk Hamza Taib for his kind words as reported by the Daily Express, on April 30th, 2012: “They [the BERSIH Sabah organizers & participants) have been co-operative and complied with the law throughout the sit-in…”

We sincerely hope that such positive cooperation between KK police force and assembly organizers will continue to be embraced as to bring improved peace and safety to all people residing in Kota Kinabalu, and seeking to express their Constitutional rights.

Please accept this special thank you for guidance and protection. We know that your jobs are not easy; and the hours long. We thus appreciate your hard work and professional approach.

Best wishes,

ANNE LASIMBANG
