MM Online - Guan Eng under sedition probe for questioning Hadi’s Bill
![]()
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 13 ― Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng is scheduled for questioning by Bukit Aman police for alleged sedition over his statement on the proposed amendments to the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965, his lawyer said.
Lim's lawyer R.S.N. Rayer was quoted by English daily The Star that the police were expected to question the DAP leader at his official office on Level 28, Komtar today.
“We were told Lim would be investigated under the Sedition Act. The police will be coming at 11am.
“I will be accompanying the CM during the questioning. We will co-operate with the police as we always do,” Rayer said, referring to the chief minister.
Lim had said in a statement in November last year that the DAP opposes the proposal for the law also known as Act 355, claiming it is “hudud-like” and runs contrary to the Federal Constitution.
Lim also claimed that the failure of several Barisan Nasional component parties to leave the ruling coalition was seen as a form of tacit approval of Umno's support for the private member’s Bill by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang to raise the punishment cap by Shariah courts.
However, Anya Corke, a one-time Hong Kong chess champion whose picture was used, denied knowing Lim's son or that she was molested.
The bloggers then claimed that her picture was randomly used to protect the identity of the real victim.

was this seditious or Lim Guan Eng's questioning of UUC355? |
Lim also claimed that the failure of several Barisan Nasional component parties to leave the ruling coalition was seen as a form of tacit approval of Umno's support for the private member’s Bill by PAS president Datuk Seri Abdul Hadi Awang to raise the punishment cap by Shariah courts.
This is extraordinary, a parliamentarian is being investigated for sedition because he questioned Pak Haji Hadi Awang' UUC 355.
It's not unlike RSN Rayer being charged for sedition because he called UMNO celaka, but which the court dismissed kau kau.
There should be a law against frivolous allegations and the police should have been mindful of that instead of responding like a marionette (patung) to every of UMNO's accusations, especially against parliamentarians like Guan Eng and Rayer.

celaka seditious? |
I read just a couple of days ago that Guan Eng's son is still being investigated for allegedly sexually assaulting a fellow student 6 years ago, yes SIX years ago.
Malaysiakini reported:
Police are still investigating claims that Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng's son had sexually assaulted a schoolmate, almost six years since the allegations circulated on pro-Umno blogs.
Police received six complaints alleging that the then 16-year-old boy had committed the crime, and that money was paid to ensure the matter was not circulated online.
Lim had vehemently denied the allegations while the headmaster of the school the boy attended said no such incident occurred there.
"The case is classified under Section 500 of the Penal Code and to date no one has come forward to say they have been molested, or to confirm the incident.
"The case is still under investigation, to determine the identity of those who spread the allegations," Home Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said in a written parliamentary reply during the previous sitting of Parliament last year.
He was responding to a verbal question from Lim, who asked why no action has been taken against those who spread the lies.
The claims were published, among others, on pro-Umno blogger Papagomo's website.

Papagomo and buddy Former police officer Wan Mohd Azri Wan Deris was today ordered to pay Opposition Leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim RM800,000 in damages over blog posts as “Papagomo”, despite continued denials that he was not the offending blogger. Wan Mohd Azri was ordered in another trial to pay businessman Abdul Razak Mohd Noor RM500,000 in damages over blog posts penned by “Papagomo” that implied he was a liar who earned millions of ringgit in the Commonwealth Games. from MM Online |
The allegations were accompanied with a picture of the so-called victim.
However, Anya Corke, a one-time Hong Kong chess champion whose picture was used, denied knowing Lim's son or that she was molested.

“I have not visited Malaysia for seven years. I have never met or even heard of any of the people involved. I have never been physically assaulted in any way.” “The only way in which my ‘modesty was outraged’ has been the publication of my picture in connection with these scurrilous and unfounded rumours.” |
The bloggers then claimed that her picture was randomly used to protect the identity of the real victim.
Yes, and kaytee was the real Shahanshah of Shangrila.
Don't the police have anything worthwhile to do than to respond to UMNO's Black Underground Loathsome Liars (BULL)?
But all above means that there is now no more doubt the general election is just around the corner.
