Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng questioned if the police were trying to protect BN component parties by launching a “sedition” investigation against him.

Lim said two police officers from Ampang, Kuala Lumpur, questioned him today over his statement on Nov 23 urging Gerakan, MCA, MIC and SUPP to quit BN.

The parties were asked to quit the coalition over the coalition’s stand on PAS’ motion to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 (Act 355).
