DAP's Ipoh Barat MP M Kulasegaran today said that Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi cannot remain silent over remarks made by the Inspector General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar over the latter's comments about child custody cases.

Khalid was reported yesterday as saying that the police will place children who are subject to custody battles in childcare homes, a statement was was heavily criticised from both sides of the political divide as the IGP appears to be "taking law in his own hands".
