KUALA LUMPUR – A total of 20 MPs have given their statements to the police in connection with a rally by opposition elected representatives here on Monday.

Dang Wangi district police chief Noor Dellhan Yahaya when contacted by Bernama said that the police recorded the statements from three more MPs today.

They were Seputeh MP Teresa Kok; Petaling Jaya MP Maria Chin Abdullah and Sungai Buloh MP Sivarasa Rasiah.

He said Port Dickson MP Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, who is PKR president, had also completed giving his statement over the same matter.
