PETALING JAYA: The harsh treatment of young female activists by authorities in the past week is inexcusable, says MCA.

Its spokesperson Saw Yee Fung said that the heavy-handedness of the police in the arrests of Heidy Quah Gaik Li, 26, and Sarah Irdina, 20, would be to the detriment of the nation when young women leaders fear to speak up in the future."This week, we have seen the arrest of activists of both genders by the police for the mere crime of voicing up.

"Quah exposed how a woman detained at an immigration detention centre in 2018 with her newborn baby was subjected to unsanitary conditions and abusive treatment. "This young lady recounted her experience after she was arrested by police – being held in custody for over 10 hours while being subjected to harsh questioning, being forced to strip to her underwear, and then being made to sleep on a plank in a cell with a CCTV camera and an exposed toilet.
