PKR mendakwa seorang petugas wanitanya dikasari dan cuba dicabuli oleh penyokong BN semalam di bilik gerakan Umno di Bukit Gantang sewaktu kumpulan petugas itu melalui kawasan tersebut.
Ketua Wanita PKR Zuraidah Kamaruddin mendakwa wanita itu “ditarik secara paksa ke dalam bilik khidmat masyarakat Umno atas tujuan cubaan mencabul kehormatan mangsa.”
Pada 6 April 2009, jam 4.20 petang rombongan jentera pilihanraya KEADILAN yang terdiri daripada enam orang ahli Srikandi KEADILAN telah diganggu secara seksual dan diperlakukan secara kasar oleh sekumpulan petugas pilihanraya Umno di hadapan Bilik Khidmat Masyarakat Umno Bukit Gantang.
Salah seorang mangsa turut ditarik secara paksa ke dalam Bilik Khidmat Masyarakat Umno Bukit Gantang atas tujuan cubaan mencabul kehormatan mangsa. Walau bagaimanapun, mangsa telah berjaya diselamatkan oleh penduduk setempat. Berhubung kejadian ini, beliau yang ditemani oleh petugas pilihanraya KEADILAN dan saksi kejadian telah mengemukan dua laporan polis secara berasingan di Balai Polis Simpang, Bukit Gantang. Insiden durjana dan keji ini telah disahkan oleh Pengarah Pilihanraya Wanita KEADILAN Pusat Parlimen Bukit Gantang, Rodziah Ismail.
Wanita KEADILAN Malaysia mengutuk sekeras-kerasnya insiden ini dan menyatakan rasa kesal terhadap tindakan media kawalan Umno-BN yang dilihat sebagai berat sebelah dan tidak beretika. Wanita KEADILAN akan menyaman mana-mana media yang menyatakan bahawa laporan polis yang dibuat adalah laporan palsu; media berkenaan perlu memperbetulkan laporannya kerana bukti kejadian dan pencabulan kehormatan mangsa adalah jelas dan lengkap.
Insiden ini telah mengambarkan betapa sebahagian petugas pilihanraya Umno sanggup dan tidak teragak-agak melakukan perbuatan yang terkutuk dan melampaui batasan moraliti dan agama.
Wanita KEADILAN menuntut agar pihak polis segera menyiasat dan membuat tangkapan berdasarkan kenyataan mangsa dan saksi. Kejadian durjana sedemikian tidak seharusnya berlaku dan berulang.
Kembalikan kepada wanita Malaysia nikmat rasa selamat dan aman kepada di Malaysia.

TAIPING, April 6 — It was four hours to midnight on the eve of polling day when campaigners were making last ditched attempts to curry votes with the electorate.
Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin, the Pas candidate, was scheduled for a last walkabout at the night market in Simpang. He failed to appear.
As it turned out, he had jettisoned the plan for a final “mesra rakyat” to rush to the aid of villagers in Kampung Simpang Holt in Changkat Jering near here.
A three-hour afternoon storm had wrecked 90 out of the 96 houses in the Bukit Gantang parliamentary seat, leaving hundreds of flood victims homeless.
The Malaysian Insider found Nizar half an hour later with his pants legs rolled up to mid-calf on the muddy tarred road leading to the sunken village.

PETALING JAYA, April 6 — All files, pictures and samples in relation to A. Kugan, who died in custody, were seized by police from a hospital which had carried out a second post mortem on Jan 25.
A search warrant was issued to the University Malaya Medical Centre here before policemen took away the items.
Kugan was arrested on suspicion of car theft on Jan 15 but died at the police lockup five days later.
Federal Criminal Investigation Director Datuk Seri Bakri Zinin told The Malaysian Insider police were instructed to make the seizures by the Attorney-General and the move was part of ongoing investigations into the case.
Lawyer N Surendren, who is representing Kugan’s family, said he was shocked with the latest development adding police had been at UMMC the whole morning.
“I have been informed in writing by the hospital because Kugan’s family had sought the second post mortem which was carried out there.”
Meanwhile Surendren also slammed the findings of an independent committee formed by the Health Ministry today which concluded he died due to water in the lungs or acute pulmonary edema, inflammation of heart muscles or acute myocarditis which was compounded by blunt force.
