00:00 The government's recent action targeting DAP veteran Limkit Siang and JJ Dennis, a
00:08 special officer to Slango Menteribasa Amiruddin Shari, has been strongly rebuked by rights
00:13 group Lawyers for Liberty.
00:15 LFL director Zaid Malik said in a statement that the police action against the duo was
00:20 an affront to the constitutionally guaranteed freedom of expression in Article 10 of the
00:25 federal constitution.
00:27 Zaid urged the government to seize all investigation on Lim regarding his statement and for the
00:32 Attorney General's Chambers to withdraw the charge against JJ.
00:36 He pointed out that the Pakatan Harapan-led government, who professed to uphold free speech,
00:41 appeared to have a flawed comprehension of what it truly entails.
00:46 On Monday, Lim said he would give his statement to the police over a recent speech in which
00:50 he spoke about the possibility of a non-Malay being appointed Prime Minister.
00:55 Yesterday, JJ said he had been told to appear at the Alur Gajah Sessions Court on Thursday
01:00 to face criminal charges over a tweet involving Malacca Governor Ali Rustam.
