Najib has both eyes closed on Umno cybertroopers

Lim Kit Siang

MP SPEAKS What a coincidence! The same day that Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak had lumped news portals with keyboard warriors and cybertroopers for “unhealthy practices of journalism” – in an attempt to justify the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) recent blockade of The Malaysian Insider (TMI) – there was another blast of lies against DAP as well.

This was in the form of an alleged list of the “richest” individuals in Malaysia (below) circulated on the Internet, with DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng – who is also the Penang chief minister – listed as the 22nd “richest” person in Malaysia, worth RM2.87 billion.

He is supposedly preceded by the 21 “richest” people in Malaysia.

Has Guan Eng rocketed from a jailbird to become Malaysia’s 22nd richest person – in the league of Robert Kuok and Ananda Krishnan?

I did a quick search and found that it was Forbes’ 2016 ranking of ‘Malaysia’s 50 Richest’ and the list was correct – except for Guan Eng’s listing as the 22nd richest – when it should be Lim Wee Chai.

Guan Eng is nowhere in the list – or even among Malaysia’s richest 500, 5,000 or 50,000 – but Umno cybertroopers have no compunction to stoop so low as to “doctor” the list to malign and defame him and DAP leaders, as they have done in the past.
…
The MCMC has urged netizens to report content which is offensive, incestuous, pornographic, and false, with its network security chief officer for the enforcement and advocacy sector, Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin asking netizens to adopt a critical approach and to report to the authorites for legal action to be taken.

However, DAP’s experiences with the MCMC have been most disappointing, as numerous reports were previously lodged against false and insidious postings on social media by Umno cybertroopers against DAP leaders, yet no action whatsoever had been taken by the MCMC or the police against such blatant falsehoods.

Najib, therefore, sounded very lame when he complained about “unhealthy practices of journalism” since he had closed his own eyes to the most inflammatory and insidious abuses by Umno cybertroopers against DAP and other opposition leaders.
…

Najib and the Umno-BN government must not arrogate to itself the prerogative of deciding for Malaysians what are truths, half-truths, lies and opinions to form their judgments, but must continue to be true and faithful to the constitutional guarantees of fundamental liberties of Malaysians, such as freedoms of speech, expression, and beliefs, and the Rukunegara principles of the supremacy of the constitution and the rule of law.

LIM KIT SIANG is the MP for Gelang Patah and DAP parliamentary leader.
