PETALING JAYA: Najib Razak has criticized the police for their decision to question Lim Guan Eng of the DAP on Christmas Eve, saying it is inappropriate to do so.
The former prime minister said Lim should be called in the first week of next year instead.
“Don’t give them ammunition to instigate the rakyat,” he said in a Facebook post, alluding to the opposition.
Earlier today, Lim, who is the secretary general of the DAP, revealed that the police were currently investigating him for two press releases he made in 2019, when he was still finance minister.
“I will probably see the police on Thursday, a Christmas ‘gift’ from the PN government,” he joked.
Lim also claimed that the decision to question him was the “latest act of political persecution by Perikatan Nasional”, where the current government had “armed” law enforcement agencies against the opposition.
