Abdullah said though it was a matter for the attorney-general, he hoped the investigation and decision on whatever action was to be taken would be made soon. "This case has created a lot of interest. I hope the attorney-general will decide quickly on the case if it is to be brought to court," he said yesterday when asked about the police reports lodged against Karpal.
When asked, Abdullah said the government would not use the Internal Security Act. At least nine police reports have been lodged calling for action against Karpal.
Police started receiving the reports on Monday with five coming from
He said that if the Attorney-General felt that there was a case, he should bring the matter to court as soon as possible.
"It is my hope that he will act fast," he told reporters after chairing a special meeting of the Umno Supreme Council at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), here.
The prime minister said the action has to be immediate because the issue is being followed with great interest by many people.
"Many people are showing interest in the issue. (They want to know) what the penalty is in the matter," he said.
Asked whether the Internal Security Act (ISA) would be used against Karpal Singh, Abdullah said: "If the ISA were used, he would have been detained a long time ago. We have not used it (on him)."…………….
The prime minister had yesterday instructed Umno to lodge a police report against Karpal Singh over his remark which was said to border on treason and had incited anger in the Malays.
The police have so far received nine reports against Karpal Singh, the MP for Bukit Gelugor, over his remark. Among these are one by Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Mansor yesterday and Malaysian Youth Council secretary-general Tajudin Ahmad Friday."
