The fate of the Taman Medan church protesters continues to remain uncertain, two months after the incident occurred.

The police concluded their probe over a month ago, but a check with the Attorney-General's (AG) Chambers today revealed that investigation papers have been returned to the police for further clarification.

Selangor police chief Abu Samah Mat ( photo ) however declined to reveal what clarifications were sought.

"We can't reveal this to the public as it is part of the investigation. Normally it is clarification about certain aspects of the investigation and evidence," he told Malaysiakini .

He added that it is up to the AG's Chambers to decide under what section the protesters would be charged under.

The police had previously said the incident was investigated under the Peaceful Assembly Act, and also the Penal Code for trespassing.

On April 19, some 50 protesters gathered outside a church in Taman Medan, demanding that its cross be removed from a high vantage point as it was considered disturbing to Muslims.

AG seen as dragging its feet

This would not be the first time the AG's Chambers is seen as dragging its feet when it comes to charging those aligned with the ruling government.

Previously the AG's Chambers had refused to charge Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali for an alleged threat to burn the Bible.

In the Taman Medan case, at least five of the protesters were Umno members according to Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor.

Among them were Abdullah Abu Bakar, the brother of inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar, as well as former Petaling Jaya Selatan Umno Wanita chief Munaliza Hamzah.

Abdullah ( photo ) however has said that he was only present at the protest to mediate between the demonstrators and the church.

Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has also said that those involved in the protest can be charged with sedition if found to have committed a crime.
