He said there was no need to enact a new law against hate speech because relevant sections of the Penal Code, the Sedition Act and the Communications and Multimedia Act could be strengthened. He said the apparent reluctance to go after political and religious figures gave the impression that Pakatan Harapan was not keeping its election promise to respect the rule of law, that it was selective in investigating offences and taking court action.
“But what we are getting are politicians concerned about their positions” he said, alleging that leaders in Putrajaya were not speaking up for fear of offending other politicians and some sections of the public.
