This
challenge comes from Lim Lip Eng, the Segambut MP, to the police, if the
authorities believe he has falsely accused Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid
Hamidi of endorsing extra-judicial killing.
Lim said
this after lodging a police report today, calling on the police to initiate an
investigation into Zahid’s controversial “shoot first, ask questions later”
remarks recently.
Lim said
that if he were found guilty of providing false information under Section 177
of the Penal Code, he could be jailed up to two years.
“I’ve
suggested several laws Zahid can be charged under in my report. But it’s likely
the police will reply me with ‘’NFA” (No Further Action),” he said.
Speaking on
the matter to the press yesterday, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department
Dato Seri Dr Shahidan Kassim, who was present at the briefing last Saturday
where Zahid is reported to have said the words in question, commented that he
did not hear Zahid say those words.
However,
Zahid defended his statement via twitter, claiming that his remark was taken
out of context, and he was referring to the Penang
shoot out in August.
He meant to
say that police did the right thing to “shoot-CRIMINAL-first”.
