Jamal released on bail, questions why cops yet to take action against Zaid

KUALA LUMPUR: Sungai Besar Umno division chief Datuk Seri Jamal Yunos who was arrested on Saturday for intimidating and threatening to "hunt down" former minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim was released yesterday after serving his two-day remand order.
Lawyer Mohamed Imran Tamrin said Jamal was released on police bail after spending two nights behind bars.
Imran said the Red Shirts leader was remanded under Section 504 of the Penal Code for provocation and Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act.
Speaking to reporters after his release from the Dang Wangi police lockup this afternoon, Jamal expressed regret that police have yet to take any action against Zaid.
"Two days in the Dang Wangi police station, I came out and I was told that Zaid Ibrahim has yet to be detained. This is something that disappoints me, I don't know what else I need to do," said Jamal in a video shared on his Facebook page.
Jamal was handcuffed and led away by police at about 9.30pm on Saturday when he attended the Umno general assembly at Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC).
On Friday, armed with a sledgehammer, Jamal brought a cutout poster of Zaid and warned that he would personally hunt down Zaid if the authorities did not take action against him for allegedly insulting the Selangor Sultan.
He allegedly also said that he knew where Zaid lives and that the "hammer would meet his head" if the authorities failed to act against him.
