PETALING JAYA: A DAP MP today criticised Ahmad Zahid Hamidi’s remarks on the recent acquittal of a woman charged with reckless driving in Johor, comparing them to those which landed a lawyer in jail earlier this year.
However, Ramkarpal said Zahid’s claim implied that Putrajaya had had a hand in the decision and that the magistrate in question was not impartial. He said lawyer Arunachalam Kasi, better known as Arun Kasi, had been sentenced to jail and fined by the Federal Court in April for unfairly criticising its decision.“If Arun Kasi was cited for contempt, there is no reason why Zahid should not be,” Ramkarpal said, adding that Zahid’s statement was equally, if not more serious.
