PONTIAN: Another police report has been filed against Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi over his remarks on the recent acquittal of a woman on a charge of reckless driving that caused the death of eight teenage cyclists in Johor Baru in 2017.
said Ahmad Zahid's remarks over the matter were not only an insult to the court but could also fuel racial sentiments among the public.
"As a political figure, we should explain to the public that the decision made by the court was based on evidence and had nothing to do with race. "However, sadly, the Umno president decided to not only continue encouraging racial sentiments but also accused the court of making a verdict without any evidence and claimed that the Pakatan Harapan government practises double standards," he said.
He said this to the press after filing the police report at 12.45pm Sunday here at the Pontian Police Headquarters. The DAP lawmaker added that Ahmad Zahid's remarks were an offence to the integrity of the court and may also effect the public's trust in it."When eight children riding their bicycles in Johor were hit by a woman , that woman was released as though there was no evidence. Those children have died, they have become arwah ," he said.
