No News Is Bad News

Lawyer and social activist Siti Kasim said: "I recently saw a TikTok video where he (Akmal) was seen calling the Malays to be ready. He was seen sharpening a parang ... this is something the police must act on.

"It is like he is instigating the Malays to create problems. Islam never teaches us all this," said Siti.

Indeed, why no sedition probe on racial and religious bigot Umno Youth chief Akmal

KUALA LUMPUR, April 2, 2024: No News Is Bad News has posted many times on the racial and religious bigoted Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh and his veiled threat to the lives of Malaysians, national unity and harmony.

We are simply tired of repeating the same here this time to an unresponsive police force and a so-called Madani Unity Government.

We reproduce below what a senator debated in the senate today:

Ti Lian Ker contrasts the lack of action against the Umno Youth chief with the probe into Lim Kit Siang.

PETALING JAYA: A senator has asked why Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh has yet to be investigated for sedition after posting a picture of himself holding a sword on Facebook.

Akmal had posted the picture, taken during a recent trip to Japan, on March 14.

The picture was captioned: “No matter what, we will not waver from our stance. Better to die standing than live kneeling.”

“Why was Akmal not investigated or warned, even though DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang was interrogated simply for translating the constitution?

“One of the offences in the Sedition Act is uttering words that can provoke hatred between races,” Ti Lian Ker said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

In December last year, Bukit Aman confirmed that it would take Lim’s statement following comments he had made on his blog about whether a non-Malay can become the prime minister.

Criminal investigation department deputy director Rosdi Isa said Lim had touched on constitutional issues.

Lim meanwhile said he had been accused of provocation but maintained that this was not his intention.

In his X post, Ti shared a video of him speaking in the Dewan Negara about the incitement of racial tensions through social media, citing a particular figure who has come under fire even from PKR and Bersatu.

“There is one figure who has not only incited or been seen as inciting (tensions), but there is also a picture of him carrying a sword,” he said, referring to Akmal.

“I think that is not a good imagery, it is indeed incitement. The police need to be called upon to investigate or warn such figures so that their actions do not become an example for the public to follow.”

He added that divisions in society are likely to occur if the Sedition Act is not enforced.
