Police have recorded the statement of the lawyer Americk Sidhu today for alleged defamatory remarks that were made against Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak during Suaram’s fundraising dinner last month.
Americk said the police had asked him about the contents of his speech, specifically whether he had made any insinuations against Najib.
He added that the police were acting on a police report lodged by the NGO Jaringan Melayu Malaysia (JMM) president Azwanddin Hamzah on July 31, alleging that statements “defamatory to the prime minister” were made during the July 17 function.
However, he said he believes what he said was during the function was neither defamatory nor seditious.
“Whatever I said is fair comment and justified,” he said when met byMalaysiakini at his office just after police had recorded his statement.
