Block mentor turned tormentor, Najib dared

An opposition lawmaker has challenged Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to block his former mentor turned tormentor Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s blog, chedet.cc.

According to Rafizi Ramli, the decisiveness to block access to chedet.cc would serve as a litmus test of whether Najib has the guts to eliminate his main critic i.e. Mahathir himself.

The PKR vice-president said this in response to the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) barring access to whistleblower website Sarawak Report.

MCMC claimed the website, which has published a slew of damaging reports on 1MDB, can erode political stability.
…

“Surely Umno is aware that another equally influential website that continues to disseminate information on 1MDB is chedet.cc. The blog receives presumably an equivalent number of visitors each day.

“So if Umno is serious about a total black out of 1MDB news, Putrajaya must not practise double standard and should block access to chedet.cc too.

“Only then Putrajaya can make good its excuse that it does not tolerate false news churned out by Sarawak Report because chedet.cc mounts even personal and political attacks on Najib,” he told Malaysiakini.

Failing to do so, warned Rafizi, would allow Mahathir to continue launching acerbic salvos at the prime minister.
