PARLIAMENT | Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak has a habit of suing critics and media organisations locally, but does not appear to have the appetite to do the same abroad.

During the debate on the royal address today, Teo Nie Ching (DAP-Kulai) wondered aloud if this was because Najib was more gracious to his foreign critics.

"Is he refraining from taking action because he is a gracious leader? Does he not have the heart to take action against the foreign media?

"No! He had filed defamation suits against PJ Utara (Tony Pua), Pandan (Rafizi Ramli), Malaysiakini, Harakah and even former MCA president Ling Liong Sik,” said Teo.
