KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 5 — Police have summoned prominent lawyer Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan for questioning in connection with her support for a banned sexual rights event.

“I can confirm that Datuk Ambiga has been asked to go to Dang Wangi (police station) on Tuesday for questioning... in connection with Seksualiti Merdeka,” Bersih steering committee member Andrew Khoo told The Malaysian Insider today.

Ambiga (picture), chairman of outlawed electoral reform group Bersih, had earlier agreed to launch Seksualiti Merdeka on Wednesday.

She stressed, however, that she did not organise the event and had only agreed to officiate the festival as a private citizen and not as a representative of Bersih.

Seksualiti Merdeka, a movement championing the freedom for sexual orientation and gender identity, has been holding the festival annually since 2008 but sparked a heated debate after the government banned the celebration yesterday.

Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Khalid Abu Bakar said the police were not against freedom of expression or human rights but had to step in because the organisers did not have a permit to hold the festival in public.

We fully sokong our PDRM on wanting the question this Ambiga Sreenevasan for her support for a banned sexual rights event. This in our paid opinion is totally ta' Bersih. Filty topics such as Seksualiti Merdeka should be left to PDRM, JAKIM and the Slime Minister's Department. These trained professional have years of experience working in and dealing with these muck, filth, non halal and, generally naughty things.

We all know that pregnancy is a sexually transmitted disease and we should only procreate in a JAKIM/PDRM approved way. In future all sexuality and coitus should be observed and certified halal by approved organisations such as JAKIM/PDRM who should send well-trained observers into all bed-rooms with camera. This will ensure that have a clean, sterile, sexually well-behaved halal coitus with occasional interruptus in accordance to the Internal Sexuality Act (Erection Emergency Ordinance-Sex-tion 132). Ambiga ta'Bersih involvement may lead her to be charged under this ISxA Sextion.

Remember, this expose' is our pubic service to the community; justice, freedom and the bolih way.
