TG PIAI POLLS | DAP's Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng has lodged a police report against Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over his remarks on the Johor bicycle tragedy court ruling.
The report came two days after Johor Harapan Youth chief Taqiuddin Cheman made a similar report against the Bagan Datuk MP.
Commenting on his move, Lim (above) said Zahid had tarnished the image of the judiciary with the remarks.
"Zahid had attempted to embarrass the judiciary by questioning the integrity of the court," he told the media outside the Pontian district police headquarters today.
Asked why he filed the report in Pontian instead of Kepong, Lim said he did not want to burden the Johor police as they would have to look for him at his constituency.
"I filed the report here to make things easy for everyone. Coincidentally, I am here to campaign for the candidate," he added.
Lim urged the police to conduct an immediate investigation on Zahid (photo).
At a BN-PAS ceramah on Oct 6 for the coming Tanjung Piai by-election, Zahid questioned the Johor Bahru Magistrate's Court's decision to acquit the driver involved in an accident where eight teenaged bicyclists were killed.
"When eight children playing on their bicycles in Johor were hit by a woman (driver), that woman was released as though there was no evidence," he had said.
In her ruling last month, magistrate Siti Hajar Ali acquitted Sam Ke Ting, 24, without having her defence called, after finding the prosecution had failed to prove a prima facie case on the charge of reckless driving. - Mkini
