PCM Vice-President Huan Cheng Guan claims that based on a report he read in a news portal, Lim’s remarks were seditious in nature and ought to be investigated by police.
“We have lodged a police report today because it is as if Lim was asking Sarawak to leave the Federation.
“We ask the police to investigate and take action as per the report, which appeared on Malay Mail Online,” Huan told reporters outside the Prai police station today.
Yesterday, Lim called on Sarawak Chief Minister Adenan Satem and Barisan Nasional affiliate parties in East Malaysia to leave the coalition if their requests for devolution of power and demands for greater autonomy were not met by the Federal government.
In the article in question, the Penang CM told his Sarawak counterpart that he should set a deadline for the Federal government to grant his demand for greater autonomy, as pledged in the last state election.
“Adenan Satem should set a deadline to pull out of BN if the BN-controlled Federal government refuses to accede to Sarawak’s demands for autonomy as guaranteed in the 1963 Malaysia Agreement leading to the 1963 Federal Constitution.
“BN must be taught a lesson and be reminded that just as without Sarawak there is no Malaysia, similarly without the support of Sarawak MPs, BN would lose Federal power,” Lim had said, according to MMO.
Attempts by FMT to reach Lim for comment have so far been unsuccessful.
