This comes after Hadi claimed in a Facebook post on Tuesday that the Malays were being “openly conned” and that non-Muslims and non-Malays were the “biggest plunderers”.

Lim, the Kepong MP, lodged his report against the PAS president at the Kepong police station today.

He urged the police to launch an investigation into Hadi’s remarks under various sections of the law, including the Sedition Act, the Penal Code, and the Communications and Multimedia Act.

Yesterday, Guan Eng said the authorities should take action against Hadi, who seemed to have been emboldened by the previous government’s inaction over his past remarks.

He pointed out that it was not Hadi’s first time singling out non-Muslims and non-Malays “for the problems faced by the Malays”.

In August last year, Hadi had also cast non-Muslims and non-Bumiputeras as being at the root of corruption, saying they were “the majority of those involved in ruining the country’s politics and economy”.

At least 28 police reports had been lodged against Hadi last year over that remark, prompting Bukit Aman to summon the Marang MP to give his statement.

Last month, home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the investigation was ongoing and the investigation paper would be submitted to the Attorney-General’s Chambers.
