Investigate Mahathir and

PKR’s Sungai Petani MP, Johari Abdul, is challenging the Ministry of Home Affairs to investigate complaints made against the former Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad and Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak that they have committed sedition.

Citing Keadilan Daily, Johari said that no individual is above the law, regardless of their rank or status.

“No matter who they are, whether the former Prime Minister or even the Prime Minister, the investigation should be done on a consistent basis and all decisions should be determined by the courts,” he said.

Yesterday DAP MP, Lim Lip Eng lodged two police reports at the Sentul district police headquarters, that both leaders have been seditious.

The report was in relation to Mahathir’s claims against DAP’s Lim Kit Siang during the general election last year.

Lim also claimed that Najib had made seditious statements during the Umno General Assembly in 2010.

A police report was made because of the pledge by Home Minister, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi that the police will investigate any cases of sedition within 24 hours of it being reported, to assure the public of equal treatment by the police.

Johari said that the ministry should now be responsible and act quickly, and transparently.

He added that the investigation against Mahathir and Najib should be done if the allegations prove true, and breaches the law.

“If no investigation is done, then this clearly shows that the government is guilty of ‘double standards’,” he said.
