KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar said the written reply he had made to a question in Parliament that the police beat base in Lorong Haji Taib had been closed for security reasons was "not accurate and clear".
The home minister said the reason the beat base was closed was because the owner of the land wanted it back, and not for security and health reasons like he said before.
On Oct 16, Syed Hamid said in his written reply to Titiwangsa member of parliament Dr Lo' Lo' Mohamad Ghazali, that the Lorong Haji Taib beat base had to be closed as the police found the location no longer suitable or safe for the police personnel on duty.
The dirty surroundings and criminal threats endangered the security of personnel, he had said. Speaking after visiting the Chow Kit police station yesterday, Syed Hamid said Chow Kit was once considered a "black area" full of criminals and illegal immigrants.
