DAP lodges police report against Utusan

Malaysiainsider | Bandar Kuching MP, Chong Chieng Jen lodged a police report against Malaysian Press Institute CEO, Datuk Chamil Wariya and Utusan Malaysia at the Dang Wangi district police headquarters.

The report was lodged over a short story, Politik Baru YB J, which the DAP Socialist Youth deputy chief claimed was a "political propaganda disguised as a fiction."

He added that the story is a form of political intimidation.

Accompanied by Serdang MP Teo Nie Ching and Segambut MP Lim Lip Eng, Chong said he is disturbed by the ending of the story, where a young man assassinated YB J, a characted he believed refered to Seputeh MP, Teresa Kok, for allegedly causing racial tension.

"The said short story contains a seditious message and is aimed at instigating and inciting its readers to commit political assassination against the Member of Parliament for Seputeh, YB Teresa Kok Suh Sim," said Chong in his report.

He hoped that the police would carry out its investigation fairly.

"I also challenge Umno, MCA, MIC, SUPP, PBB and Sabah political parties to take a stand on this issue," he added.

He was also sickened by some Umno lawmakers who ignored the publication of the short story.

"This story tries to bring us into the dark age of political terrorism. ISA is bad enough, but this is even worse than ISA," said Chong.

Chong expected that the campaign to boycott Utusan Malaysia would intensify, adding that the party's central committee will meet to decide on the next course of action.

In a thinly-veiled threat against Kok, Mingguan Malaysia, the weekend edition of Utusan on Oct 12, published a short story written by Chamil, about a female, non-Malay lawmaker, YB Josephine, who was accused of being anti-Islam and anti-Malay.

At the end of the story YB Josephine was assassinated by a young man, who subsequently, committed suicide.

The murderer left a note that it is better for YB J to die, to ensure racial harmony.
