KUALA LUMPUR: Seven non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have urged the police to take action against DAP member, Zaid Ibrahim who allegedly issued a statement questioning the authority of Sultan Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah.
The NGOs are the Malaysian Malay Network Organisation (JMM), Selangor Youth MPs Club, Persatuan Komuniti Persahabatan Ampang, Persatuan Peniaga and Penjaja Kecil Bukit Ampang Saujana, Persatuan Kebajikan San Chuan Cheras, Pertubuhan Pribumi Perkasa Pandan, Persatuan Pengusaha and Peniaga Kawasan Perindustrian Hata Pandan Mewah.
JMM president Azwanddin Hamzah said Zaid’s actions were extremely disrespectful and that he attempted to corrupt the minds of the people.
“This should not happen…the statement also encourages Malaysians to be rude to their Sultan. If he (Zaid) is not detained, we will continue to lodge police reports.
“If he does not refrain from committing a similar mistake, JMM will rally in front of his house,” he told reporters after lodging a police report against Zaid at the Ampang Jaya police headquarters here yesterday.
In his Twitter account on Tuesday, Zaid had among other things, disputed Sultan Sharafuddin over his criticism of former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad over the latter’s insulting remark against the Bugis community. -FMT
