Global Human Rights Federation (GHRF) president S
Shashi Kumar said the review was filed following a reply he received
from Bukit Aman on June 17, stating that the case against Syakir (above)
has been classified as “no further action” (NFA) after the
investigation papers were submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
“But
here they are only talking about one video which is enough to convict
Syakir under the Sedition Act. What about the other three videos?”
Shashi asked in a statement today.
He was referring to remarks made by Syakir in four videos posted on social media. The GHRF president claimed the contents of the videos propagate “racism, fanaticism and extremism”. The case management for the judicial review is set to be heard at the Kuala Lumpur High Court today.
The
groups involved in the case, aside from GHRF, are Parti Bangsa Dayak
Sarawak, Sarawak Association for People’s Aspiration, Ex-Students of
Chinese Schools and Pertubuhan Malaysia Tamilar Munnetra Kalagam.
The
applicants are seeking a declaration that the refusal to act against

the AG.hrrmph : What's the point of tabling a racial hatred bill? Why would an additional bill change anything? The authorities will just have another set of crimes for them to practise their double standards with.
Headhunter : Well done. Don't take this lying down because it will only embolden them and their ilk to trample you down.
darmakochi : In tandem with the increase of political crooks our multiracial nation is facing the increase of religious bigots. They are behaving like UNTOUCHABLES!
Annonnymous 080 : I find it surprising that with GE around the corner even MKini is not reporting or getting regular comments from characters like Zakir Naik, Asri, Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu, Firdaus Wong Wai Hung, Idris Sulaiman, Amin of UMMAH and
politicians like Tajuddin, Nazri, KATAK KING ex Pasir Mas MP and many more!Why are these fellows so silent after all the inflammatory remarks and speeches?
ScallopJilatDedak : Don't worry, after GE15, the PH government will make sure that religion extremist cum racist be nicely treated with nasi kari ayam in hotel Sg. Buluh. Don't say PH is anti-MM😁
Knucklehead : Indeed! What is the position of political parties on this preacher?
What has UMNO, the Malay race champion has to say?
What has Bersatu, the other Malay race champion has to say?
What has PKR/Anwar, the has to say?
Semua bisu ka?
Make it clear to voters, what is your stand!
IndigoKite6964 : It is hard not to think the the AG and IGP is bowing to the political powers of their time. After all PAS holds the religious portfolio and insulting other races and religion are some of the most defining traits from PAS so far.
