The police have wrapped up investigations into the case of derogatory posters of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, Bersih 2.0 chief Datuk S.Ambiga and national laureate Datuk A. Samad Said found in Taman Tun Dr Ismail last weekend.
Brickfields district police chief ACP Wan Abdul Wan Abdul Khalid said 10 people were released in connection with the derogatory posters last Saturday as they had completed investigations on the case.
"This is a minor issue. We have recorded the suspects statements and completed our investigations. We even submitted the investigation papers to the deputy public prosecutor's office for further action and the suspects are eligible for bail and thus released."
On a suggestion by Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng urging the release of footages of suspects to deter others from repeating the act, Wan Bari said there were no reasons to release footage or photo-fits of suspects as they had already been detained.
"Photo fits of suspects were usually released if we were unable to find the suspects," Wan Bari said.

Hate posters bearing the face of Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, Bersih 2.0 chairman Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan and National Laurete Datuk A. Samad Said has been taken down from around Taman Tun Dr Ismail (TTDI) today.
Segambut Member of Parliament Lim Lip Eng said Pakatan Rakyat Segambut, TTDI residents and a special task force from Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) worked since early morning to take down the derogatory posters, as well as ah long stickers from around the suburb.
Thousands of posters dubbing Guan Eng as "anti-Malay", and posters of Ambiga together with poet and national laureate A. Samad Said that read "Vote Ambiga, Vote for free sex" were plastered around the suburban neighbourhood on Feb 4.
The posters were stuck on bus stops, public telephone booths, beneath billboards and plastered over old posters along Jalan Datuk Sulaiman and Jalan Burhanuddin Helmi since early Saturday morning.
Lim said there were complaints from Wangsa Maju, Pandan Indah, Pandan Jaya and Kota Damansara residents about the same derogatory posters. Lim also said that the police have arrested 10 people in connection with the derogatory posters on Saturday. They have since been released on police bail.
He thanked the police for their swift action but wanted the police to release the CCTV footage of the incident as a warning to future perpetrators to no repeat this kind of crime again. He believes that CCTVs which were installed in TTDI last October, under the 'pioneer safe city' initiative by the government must have captured footage of the culprits.
"To those culprits, I respected their views but this is not the way to express their view. If they have problems with Lim Guan Eng, Ambiga or other people, they can hold a peaceful rally to voice out their opinions," he said.
DBKL advisory board member, Dr Idris Ahmad who was also present said he believes that the culprits involved wanted to incite racial sentiments and create havoc in the multi-cultural society of TTDI. "The way I see it, I am sure the man or organisation that sponsored the posters is very rich, as the volume and quality of the posters are very good," he said.
