Stern action against those who disrespect King - Zahid


Bloggers and social networking site owners who posted derogatory remarks to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah’s advice to the people on Saturday to accept the results of the 13th general election will be dealt with sternly, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

“The owners of these social sites will be penalised. There is no place for them to hide, and they are not supposed to hide,” he told reporters at Bintulu Airport on Sunday.

Zahid said all Malaysians, irrespective of race and religion, should respect the King.

On the death of N Dharmendran, 32, in the lock-up of Kuala Lumpur police contingent headquarters on Tuesday, Zahid said charges against inhumane treatment by the police should have not been filed as internal investigation was being conducted by a committee led by the Inspector-General of Police himself.

He said the investigation would determine whether the police officers concerned had been negligent.

“Don’t accuse the police of taking action outside the law, but if there were misconduct by the officers then action will be taken.”

Zahid advised DAP advisor Lim Kit Siang to be more careful before questioning police’s credibility as police had their standard operating procedure (SOP) to follow in every investigation.

He said the police had the capabilities to carry out their work professionally and all parties, including the opposition, should play their roles to reduce crime rather that lambasting the men in blue.

“Lim Kit Siang batters me every day because he is sweltering under our approach of taking immediate action against any person who violates the rules and laws.

“We hope he could be brave enough to come forward so that together we can tackle crime and not just only arguing.”

In the meantime, Zahid said more centralised detention centres would be built similar to the one in Jinjang, and that the proposal would be forwarded to the Ministry of Finance.
