Najib Razak's wife, Rosmah
Please see Charter 2000-Aliran press statement in full HERE
Extract:
(Emphasis, in bold font, is mine)
“Charter 2000-Aliran is appalled by the Malaysian authorities' action in charging prominent blogger Raja Petra Kamaruddin (sic) with sedition for allegedly implying that deputy prime minister Najib Razak was involved in the sensational killing of a young Mongolian woman.”
“We, like many other concerned Malaysians, are shocked that such a sedition charged has been used against Raja Petra as opposed to a more appropriate action that could have been taken by the aggrieved party (i.e. Najib and wife), which is to sue Raja Petra for supposed defamation.”
“Under the Sedition Act, a ‘seditious tendency’ implies, among other things, “a tendency to bring into hatred or contempt or to excite disaffection against any Ruler or against any Government”.
“Are we to conclude that alleging complicity in a murder case on the part of a government leader is tantamount to causing the Malaysian public to go against the entire (federal) government? Would one supposedly rotten apple spoil the whole tree?”
Something really really stinks in the state of
Praesis ut Prosis ut imperes
