Charge Teresa Kok With Defamation For Insulting This!

September 25, 2008

Just got this from zewt’s blog, who thinks we need a new law:

I can’t take it. Seriously, I can’t take it anymore. There is a limit to how much my little brain can take. I can still take oppression, intimidation or even brutal injustice. But seriously, there is only so much of stupidity that I can take.
For those living overseas, someone in Malaysia (no prizes for correct guesses) just lodged a police report against an opposition MP for… insulting eggs. Yes, you read that correctly. Egg… telur… ‘ji tan’… ‘kai tan’…

Here’s the news report by The Sun, reproduced in full:

Report lodged against Teresa Kok for insulting egg

KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 24, 2008) : The Seputeh Umno Youth division lodged a police report today against Seputeh MP Teresa Kok, claiming she had insulted the Royal Malaysian Police and the egg, which is an essential food of the underprivileged.

The division’s deputy head Alawi Dahalin and several other members lodged the report at the Brickfields police station.

Alawi said he had heard Kok complain about the food she was given while detained under the ISA, at a press conference at the DAP headquarters in Petaling Jaya, shown on the night news on TV on Sept 20, a day after she was released from custody.

He said Kok had said the food she was served was “fit only for dogs”.

“By saying this, she had insulted the police and the poor. Eggs are an important food for low-income earners and the poor. As an elected representative of the people she should not have said that,” he said.

I know UMNO is destroying itself from inside, but this is certainly a new low for UMNO. Epitome of stupidity.
