What happen in #RexKL #Shagrilla yesterday night SHOULD NOT STOP US PARTYING.

However, we should know what need to do when same thing happen again in future.

This is a thread to tell you how to dealing with police when you are in a party:

#DontStopPartying #TetapBangga

1. First is always stay calm & be polite. Polis just penguatkuasa (enforce the law) ,not "orang pemegang kuasa". Which mean they cannot do anything they like, they need to follow law too.

Being polite is protect yourself and people surrounding you from further harm

2. Police can ask you to present your IC without any reason nor warrant. Please follow police instruction.

However, authority from Religion affair have no right to ask non-muslin to present their IC. Non-muslim is not in their juridiction.

But if religion authority come with police and request you to present your IC, you will need to present your IC to police.

(This is mainly because they want to identify you are muslim or not)

3. Police may not allow you to leave the party after checking your IC

you can politely ask police "Adakah saya ditangkap?"

if police say Yes, then you should notify friends or LGBT NGO such as @jejakaorg @justice_sisters @legaldignitymy or DM me

4. If police say "no, you are not under arrest", you can take back your IC and leave the premise/party

But,what if police still not let you go?

Then you can again ask "adakah saya ditangkap?" if police answer the same, you can trying to leave the premise/party again

If police still stopping you to leave the premise/party, THIS IS ALREADY A FORM OF ARREST.

When this scenario happen, please follow tweet no. 3 , start notify friends / NGO / Lawyer

and if can, start video down what happen

5. If police keep silent when you ask "adakah saya ditangkap?" and police refuse to let you go nor return IC to you, this is also a form of arrest

When this scenario happen, please follow tweet no. 3 , and notify friends / NGO / Lawyer

and if can, start video down what happen

6. When police take your IC, they may start talking to you. You only need to provide information on your IC, such as name, address, phone number

No need to answer anything other than this. Example: student or pekerja,tempat kerja,sexuality, bf/gf siapa,who is the organizer & etc

you can remain silent all the time until lawyer show up.

DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION TO POLICE THAT MAY USE TO AGAINST YOU.

However if police become very pushy and having sign of threaten, you can repeat saying "jawab di mahkamah"

7. If police already take you to police station, and start to questioning you:

- ONLY provide information on your IC, name, address, phone number
- they will ask your father name, just answer it, this is for their record, POLICE WILL NOT NOTIFY YOUR PARENT if you're adult

- if police ask "kerja apa/mana?" "student atau sudah kerja?" "bf/gf siapa?" "pakaian ini cantik, beli dimana?" "siapa kawan yg sama datang party ini?“ "dimana dapat tahu party ini?" "makeup you cantik, siapa yang buat? sendiri buat ker?" "harga ticket party ini" & etc

DO NOT ANSWER ANY OF THESE QUESTION even though the police seem very friendly or even seem like macam nak chitchat dengan you, all you need to do is answer :

"SAYA JAWAB DI MAHKAMAH"

again, you only need to provide information on your IC (name,address,phone number,dad's name)

8. When you are in police station, you may feel very nervous, stress, scare, not sure what to do....

We understand that. That's why is important to let your friend (that you can trust and support you), LGBT NGO , lawyer to know your situation.

And keep calm until lawyer show up

9. Police arrest you DOESN'T mean you will have "record", it just police procedure, and it will not affect ur career/scholarship/university intake

police will not and should not notify ur office, university, scholarship funder. Bcoz ur private life is ur private life

10. chair person of @partisosialis Dr Jeyakumar was arrested countless time, and was in lockup for 28 days ( sosialis.net/2021/06/25/eo6… )

He is still a practicing doctor, and every friday open his clinic to provide B40 patient free medical service.

I was arrested one time during Dataran Merdeka protest, look at me now, still walking freely around without any "record"

11. So, police arrest you is not the end of everything. Most important is reach out to NGO, friends, and remember:

We will always support you.

If you have any questions, can DM lah

Received question at DM.

1. trying your best to reach out to NGO & bar council legal aid
