KUALA KUBU BARU, April 24 — Gerakan’s Datuk Tan Lian Hoe was forced to flee a school here after PKR supporters, suspecting she was misusing the premises for political campaigning, stormed the building today.
The Deputy Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister, who lodged a police report at the Kuala Kubu Baru District Police Headquarters, said about 30 PKR supporters disrupted a “price awareness seminar” which was organised by her ministry.
The incident at the Kuala Kubu Baru Tamil School occurred at about 4.30pm, after PKR supporters noticed Tan entering the school premises.

She said the group broke a door, damaged a speaker and threatened the participants and her.
“I tried to explain but they refused to listen to reason.” she said, before she relented and left the school.
Tan defended the use of the school to hold the seminar and denied there was campaigning for the Hulu Selangor by-election.
She said her ministry was holding similar seminars at small towns throughout the country and it was only a coincidence that one was being held in Kuala Kubu Baru today.
The seminar was attended by parents of students from the school.
“I never once criticised their candidate during my speech but I did tell the participants to choose wisely.” she concluded. - Malaysian Insider
Do you believe that it is only a co-incidence that one was being held not for by-election campaigning? Hard to accept it, isn't it? BN creates a lot of o-incidences.
