Press Statement By Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng In Kuala Lumpur On 21 March 2018. <\/p>\n
The Star had reported on 20.3.2018 that I would be investigated by the police for dancing along to a song mocking the Goods and Services Tax (GST) at an event attended by the children in a low-cost flat in Mutiara Idaman 2, Jelutong. The police is investigating under Section 233 of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Act which carries a fine not exceeding RM 50,000, a prison term not exceeding one year, or both.<\/p>\n
One can question whether doing this in a function attended by children is appropriate. However, I never expected singing and dancing along to an anti-GST song, that did not mention any BN leader, nor any political party nor the BN government, is sufficient for the police to conduct a full-scale criminal investigation on a Penang Chief Minister. Can this police action not be considered at best excessive, and at worst an abuse of power against a political opponent, in the run-up to the general elections? <\/p>\n
The police said that they will be recording my statement after receiving police reports against me. If that is the case, would the police also record the statement of every Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister or the Prime Minister when police reports or lodged against them? Clearly the police would not do so and this is a clear case of double-standards to harass and distract me from my party and my election preparations to face the coming 14th General Elections. <\/p>\n
Such double-standards by the police is reinforced by the failure to take any action against Federal Territories Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor, for entering a school in SK Putrajaya Presint 14 (1) on Tuesday 3 October, and getting the students to sing UMNO songs, shout UMNO slogans and wave UMNO flags. In contrast, I was opening a free tuition centre for kids organised by the Penang state government at the low-cost flat on Saturday, March 17. Is dancing along and mocking GST in an event attended by children a criminal act that requires the police to waste precious resources away from fighting crime? <\/p>\n
Even though I am unhappy at such double-standards by the police, I will give full co-operation and observe the law when they come to take my statement. <\/p>\n
