Attorney-general Mohamad Apandi Ali has dismissed MCA's allegation that he should be held responsible for the action of Mohamad Ali Baharom who organised a protest in Kota Raya yesterday.
MCA vice-president Chew Mei Fun had said Apandi did not charge Mohamad Ali or Ali Tinju with sedition for making an inflammatory speech outside Low Yat Plaza in July.
She said Ali Tinju's bravado in staging another incitement-filled demonstration outside Kota Raya was because Apandi had dropped all sedition charges against him for his action at Low Yat Plaza.
Countering her, Apandi said: "Her comment is not fair because the video recording of Ali Tinju (at Low Yat Plaza) is not enough (to charge him with sedition).
“When I asked if anyone had more evidence (against Ali Tinju), they showed (me) the same video.
“So the evidence is insufficient. Don't blame me if there is not enough evidence," he told reporters when asked in Putrajaya today.
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar, when met at the same event, said the police will probe Ali Baharom under Peaceful Assembly Act (PAA)
"As usual, we will use the PAA to investigate; we will take action if necessary."
Ali Tinju, who is Malay Army Veterans Association president, threatened to make the gathering in front of the Kota Raya shopping mall a "hot" affair, but it attracted only 20 people.
He was protesting over an incident at a handphone outlet in the complex where one of its customers was allegedly locked up for refusing to buy some handphones.
Meanwhile, Apandi said he did not receive Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission's (MACC) report probing into SRC International Ltd.
"I'm still waiting, the year has not ended... I will let you know."
Apandi has instructed MACC to complete the investigation on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's RM2.6 billion “donation”, of which RM42 million allegedly came from SRC.
Najib has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. -Mkini
