Khalid commented on the action taken on PPS in Penang via his official Twitter account @KBAB51 on Sunday. "It is best that those responsible for PPS surrender themselves immediately before we raid homes," he Tweeted. Some 154 PPS unit members, including seven women, were escorted to the Beach Street police station soon after they took part in a state-level Merdeka procession in Penang.
Last week, Khalid warned that police would conduct a thorough investigation into the activities of PPS and take the appropriate action in accordance with the law. He said at the time that according to the Registrar of Societies (ROS), the Penang voluntary patrol team was not registered under the Societies Act (1966) (Act 335) and was viewed as an illegal society under Section 41 of the Act.
