KUALA LUMPUR, May 8 (Bernama)
Police Wednesday dispersed 500 residents of Bandar Tun Hussein Onn who gathered to protest the reinstallation of a concrete barrier at the Cheras-Kajang Highway.
Some 60 policemen, including from the Federal Reserve Unit (FRU), had to be mobilised to control the tense situation when the residents refused to disperse.
Kajang OCPD ACP Sakarudin Che Mood said the police also arrested two men in their 20's for acting aggressively towards police personnel.
"FRU had to be called to disperse the group, some of whom threw road cones towards the workers of the highway concessionaire," he told reporters at the scene.
The police managed to control the situation at 8pm. It also caused more than 3km of traffic jam along the road.
Residents claimed that with the reinstallation of the barrier, those who wanted to go from Bandar Mahkota Cheras and Sungai Long had no option but to pass through the toll plaza and pay 90 sen each way.
