Maria Chin billed RM65,000 for Bersih rally

Urban Well-being, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Rahman Dahlan said Bersih chairperson Maria Chin Abdullah will be billed RM65,000 for Bersih 4.0 rally clean-ups.

“I will be sending the bill to Maria Chin within this week,” he said at the launch of the mandatory solid waste separation programme at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, today.

He said the bill does not include damages caused by the rally goers and would leave that to the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).

He said the rally goers had also urinated in public.

The two-day Bersih 4 rally which the police declared as illegal is organised by the electoral reform group Bersih 2.0 which says it is fighting for clean and fair elections, and a clean government, among other things.

In Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, organisers stopped the rallies at midnight Saturday and at noon Sunday, respectively.
