Najib Using Police to Harass Penang's CM

Failing to entice more PKR assemblymen to jump over to BN, Najib is now using the police to harass Penang's Chief Minister

The police have recorded statements from Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng and three other state assemblymen for allegedly organising an illegal assembly and making seditious statements.

Police arrived at Lim’s office in Komtar at noon on Thursday to take the statements from him and PKR assemblymen S. Raveen Tharan (Batu Uban), Sim Tze Tzin (Pantai Jerejak) and Jason Ong (Kebun Bunga).

Seri Delima assemblyman R.S.N. Rayer, who is the group’s legal counsel, was present during the 40-minute questioning.

When the officers arrived, some 20 of the politicians’ personal assistants and staff held up banners with the words “stop harassing Pakatan Rakyat leaders.”



Rayer said the police were investigating 12 reports lodged against 10 Pakatan leaders.
