Kit Siang wants parliament to debate Sarbaini
(The Malaysian Insider) – Lim Kit Siang wants Parliament to discuss the death of Customs officer Ahmad Sarbaini Mohamed, following allegations that the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) was trying to tarnish Sarbaini’s name.
Lim said today that he had given notice to Speaker Tan Sri Pandikar Amin to move a motion next week during Parliament, and added that motion for the debate will focus on Raja Petra Kamarudin’s claims of a conspiracy.
Raja Petra, in a post on his Malaysia Today website yesterday, claimed the police had conducted a thorough check on Sarbaini’s assets and found no unusual or extraordinary wealth.
Raja Petra (picture) has also accused MACC of trying to tarnish Sarbaini’s name following his death.
“My motion for an urgent parliamentary debate will also focus on the revelation by blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin that the police had conducted a thorough check on Ahmad Sarbaini’s assets and found no “unusual or extraordinary” wealth,” Lim said in a statement today.
The DAP parliamentary leader said that the motion also demanded that the police comply to the requests made by the late Sarbaini’s family.
“The police (should) reveal its probe into Sarbaini’s unusual death at MACC premises and to allow Sarbaini’s family to decide whether to have an inquest or a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the causes of Sarbaini’s death,” he added.
