Book Mahathir under Sedition Act, Nazri urges govt

Malaysiakini : Former Umno MP Nazri Abd Aziz has called for action to be taken against Dr Mahathir Mohamad under the Sedition Act for the latter's criticisms against the government.

According to Nazri, what Mahathir is doing now is clearly meant to instigate the people to hate the current government. "The government need not be afraid of taking action against Mahathir, even though he is a former prime minister.

"During Mahathir's time (as premier), whoever held gatherings to criticise the government were considered as going against the administration and held under the Internal Security Act (ISA).  “If you don't believe me, ask Ibrahim Ali," the former Padang Rengas MP was quoted telling Astro Awani, in reference to the Parti Bumiputera Perkasa Malaysia (Putra) president.

Ibrahim was among those detained under the controversial Ops Lalang in 1987 under the Mahathir administration. The duo is now working together under Putra, with Mahathir as an adviser.

Nazri's statement comes following Mahathir's remark that the government was behind the cancellation of the booking of the venues for his planned Malay people's proclamation gathering last Sunday. The former Langkawi MP, however, did not provide evidence to back his claims.
