Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister And DAP MP For Bagan Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 16.1.2017.
The latest speedy investigation by the Royal Malaysian Police(PDRM) on 13 January 2017, against me under the Sedition Act based on a police report lodged on 24th November 2016 raises very serious questions why such similar action was not taken against BN leaders when police reports are lodged against them. Is Malaysia a nation of one country two systems?(this statement in toto does not refer to the judiciary but to the prosecution and other enforcement agencies)
This has raised once again serious concerns that PDRM and other enforcement agencies is merely a political tool for the BN Federal government to shield pro-BN leaders who committed wrongdoings and destroy opposition leaders. The BN Federal government can only rebut such negative perception by taking quick action against those who made threats against the safety and even lives of Malaysians, who have the courage to oppose BN unjust and cruel policies.
On 13 January, Malaysians were shocked that a 13 year old boy had the power to “persuade” the police to investigate me for sedition and make an elected chief minister, spend an hour explaining to the cops my statement on 23 November 2016. In that statement I had asked how my statement calling on MCA, MIC, Gerakan and SUPP to withdraw from BN after UMNO supported PAS, was considered seditious.
If even a 13-year old from Selangor can compel the PDRM to act against a Chief Minister from the opposition party, naturally begs the following question, “Will similar action be taken against the Prime Minister if a police report is lodged not by a 13-year old kid but by a grown up who is 26 years old or 52 years old over the 1MDB RM52 billion scandal or the multi-billion ringgit donation scandal?”.
Apart from this selective prosecution and investigation relating to BN top leaders, there appears to be double-standards when no arrests or charges are filed on police reports made against lies, threats of bodily harm directed against opposition leaders, unlike the quick action taken against BN leaders? Even when I as Penang Chief Minister am threatened or my family members falsely accused of non-existent crimes, no quick action is taken by the police or the Federal government authorities against the perpetrators.
For instance my then 15 year old son was accused 6 years ago of sexually molesting his female classmate in a secondary school in Penang. This was given wide publicity nationally. The picture of the alleged victim was even posted on the internet by pro-UMNO bloggers. Till now the pro-UMNO bloggers are still not punished despite being clearly identified as the perpetrators for this barbaric crime against my child, who was a minor at that time.
These allegations were baseless and false. The picture of the alleged victim was found to be female chess champion from Hong Kong, who made a public statement that she had never set foot in Penang and never even met or spoken to my son. Despite police investigations after 6 years, police are still investigating. Why after 6 years, the investigation is still not completed and no arrests were made?
My son was publicly humiliated and suffered great stress when these cruel lies were made. I am thankful my son survived and did not suffer any post-traumatic stress disorder but those inhuman perverts who indecently attacked my innocent son are still free. Where is justice and what is the police doing? Attached is the parliamentary reply to my question by the Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi:-

Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) telah menerima 6 laporan polis melibatkan anak Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang yang didakwa mencabul kehormatan rakan sekolahnya dan kononnya telah dibayar sejumlah wang untuk memastikan berita ini tidak tersebar melalui media sosial. Kes ini telah diklasifikasikan di bawah Seksyen 500 Kanun Keseksaan dan sehingga kini tiada mangsa cabul seperti yang didakwa telah tampil untuk memberikan keterangan bagi mengesahkan kejadian tersebut. Kes ini masih lagi dalam siasatan bagi mengenal pasti mereka yang terlibat dalam penyebaran berita ini.
========================================================
槟城州首席部长兼民主行动党峇眼国会议员林冠英在吉隆坡发表的文告。
大马警方于2017年1月13日在煽动法令之下雷厉风行对我展开调查。这项调查是根据2016年11月24日的报案书，这延伸了很严重的问题就是为何当有人报案针对国阵领袖的时候，警方为何没有采取相同的行动。马来西亚如今是否一国两制？（此文告通篇非指涉司法制度，而是指涉检控及执法单位）
这再次引起了人们严重的担忧，警方及其他执法单位只是国阵联邦政府保护犯错的亲国阵领袖及消灭反对党领袖的政治工具。国阵联邦政府必须对威胁大马人安全甚至生命的人士迅速采取行动才能洗脱人民对他们的负面形象，而不是对付那些有勇气反对国阵不公义与残酷政策的人们。
在1月13日，一位年仅13岁的小孩竟然能“说服”警方以煽动法令对我及民选的首席部长展开调查，并且必须为了2016年11月23日的文告耗费一个小时向警方解释，着实让全体大马人震惊。我只因为在此文告提出既然巫统支持伊斯兰党，要求马华、国大党、民政党及人联党退出国阵就被当作是煽动。
若一名年仅13岁的雪兰莪孩童可以促使警方采取行动对付来自反对党的首席部长，这延伸了以下一个问题“若不是一名13岁孩童，而是一名26岁或52岁的成年人针对1MDB的520亿令吉丑闻或数十亿令吉的捐献丑闻报案，警方是否会对首相采取相同的行动？”
相对国阵最高领袖，除了上述这种选择性检控与调查，另一个双重标准就是当反对党领袖遭到污蔑、甚至身体遭攻击威胁，即使报案也看不到任何逮捕与检控肇事者，但国阵领袖一有事马上就采取行动？即便我是首席部长，当我受到威胁或我家人被指控莫须有罪名的时候，无论是警方或联邦政府根本不会对肇事者采取行动。
例如，6年前当我15岁的儿子被人指控在槟城的中学非礼其女同学，被全国大肆报道，甚至连被指称为受害女生的照片也被亲巫统的部落客放上网络。至今，这些亲巫统的部落客即便被确认就是炮制这些野蛮罪行让我儿子深受其害的肇事者，他们仍逍遥法外，而我儿子当时只是未成年的少年。
这些都是毫无根据及虚假的指控。被指为女受害者的照片被查出竟然是香港的国际象棋棋手，她公开声明她不曾到过槟城，而且不曾认识或跟我儿子说过话。如今，警方除了调查了6年，他们竟然还在调查。为何过了6年调查竟然还没完成，那些肇事者怎么还没被逮捕？
因为这项残忍的谎言，我儿子当时被铺天盖地公然羞辱，面对极大的压力。我非常庆幸我儿子在遭逢此事后能继续生活下去并没遭到创伤后压力症的折磨，但那些攻击我儿子的没人性变态造谣者至今仍然逍遥法外。请问正义何在？警方到底做了什么？在此附上我的国会问题与内政部长拿督斯里阿末扎希的回答如下：
（国会回答）
国会书面提问（第169道问题）
提问者：峇眼区国会议员林冠英
问题：要求内政部长列出有关在社交媒体上威胁首席部长性命及家人安危的警方投报，包括诬蔑我孩子非礼同班女同学的事件。请问为何至今没有采取任何行动，但对于那些嘲弄国阵政府欺骗人民的，却遭对付。
答案： –
大马皇家警察一共接获6宗投报，指控有人散播首长儿子非礼女同学，并谣传付费要求不将此事在社交媒体上爆料。警方已依据刑法第500条文调查此事，惟至今并相关无事主现身说明案件。相关案件目前仍在调查之中，以找出散播这些新闻的人士。
