Two coordinators of the group which handled the ashes of the deceased communist leader Chin Peng had been summoned by police.

Malaysiakini has confirmed the identities of the duo as Chai Kan Fook, 81, and Tong Yee, 82.

Chai had given his statement at 10am yesterday, while Tong will meet the cops at 3pm today at the Ipoh district police headquarters.

When contacted, Tong said he received a call from the Bukit Aman police headquarters officers yesterday afternoon.

However, he did not feel worried or afraid to give a statement as he will be accompanied by a few friends, including Chai.
