PETALING JAYA: Dr Mahathir Mohamad today criticised the arrest of a man believed to be over remarks directed at Johor crown prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, better known as TMJ, saying no one should be above criticism.
“I am disappointed that the social media activist has been arrested,” the prime minister said on Twitter.Firdaus, who runs a current affairs website called Neon Berapi, had in the past taken potshots at Tunku Ismail on social media. But Tunku Ismail has distanced himself from the arrest, saying the Johor palace never lodged any complaint with the police.
“This has nothing to do with us and please, in this holy month, my family and I would like to carry out our official duties to be with the people and perform rituals,” he said on Twitter.“Freedom of speech is important in a democracy. With the exception of threats, slander or insults towards ruling monarchs, any leader can be criticised without affecting the right of the people to voice out,” he said.

Kadir Jasin urges authorities to probe company linked to Johor royaltyPETALING JAYA: The Prime Minister's special media adviser Datuk A. Kadir Jasin has called upon the authorities to probe taxes paid by Mados Sdn Bhd, a company believed to be linked to the Johor royalty. What about Kadir and his MRCB Is this the rule of law or rule of jungle? Are you the home minister or prime minister. You are just the PM's media advisor....but here you are acting like a dictator. The last I remember this was not what Malaysia Baru was suppose to be like. Janji manifesto GE14 dah lupa ke? Suggesting what IGP should or should not do is not necessary, especially from PM media advisor. This will only give a negative impression on the rule of law that the Government is preaching. Vendetta isn't victorious.
