Several Opposition MPs rushed to the police headquarters from Parliament and they included Datin Seri Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Karpal Singh. Azmin Ali, Wee Choo Keong, and Dr Hatta Ramli.

Opposition politicians criticised the manner of the arrest, calling it uncivilised. Yusmadi Yusuf, MP for Balik Pulau called it "uncivilised. Anwar is not a police threat."

Karpal Singh called the action high-handed intimidation while Azmin said he is outraged.

Hatta called the arrest unwarranted. "They took him from his car like a kidnapping. This is a provocation." DAP's Lim Kit Siang ,who is also there now, said, "This will erase public trust in independence of police."
