Guan Eng questions inaction on defamation of son six years ago
(MMO) – Those who had insulted the Prime Minister on social media were immediately arrested and charged in court.
Police officers visited Lim Guan Eng today to ask the Penang chief minister if he wanted to proceed with the case on the alleged defamation of his son, six years after police reports were lodged.
Two police officers met Lim in the presence of his special legal officer, Raja Syarafina Raja Shuib, at about 9.30am at his office in Komtar today for about 20 minutes.
According to the Penang lawmaker, the police only asked him whether he wanted to proceed with the case and whether he was willing to appear in court.
“This is the third time they are taking my statement again on this and this time, they came to ask me if I want to proceed with the case and if I want to appear in court,” Lim told reporters after the policemen left.
He demanded to know why after six years, the police came to ask him whether he wants to proceed with the case.
“These are evil lies against my son who was under 16 at that time. He was not even 16 yet and because of the false news at that time, he didn’t want to go to school and I was so worried that he would do silly things then. Of course I want to proceed with the case, of course I am willing to go to court,” he said.
