IPOH: The police have called the organiser of the 19th Perak DAP Convention for investigation over the commotion that occurred at the event which was held at the Ipoh Convention Centre last Sunday.
Perak police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said based on investigation, the convention was attended by 1,731 delegates, which was less than the maximum capacity of 4,500 people allowed in the hall.

âThe public should not make any speculations and irresponsible statements on the case for fear of disrupting the police investigationâ he added.
