Can rakyat raise questions about government, asks Ramkarpal

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: After the new law on fake news came into effect, Bukit Gelugor MP Ramkarpal Singh has listed several questions today, asking if they would be considered offences under the newly implemented ordinance.

Earlier this evening, de facto law minister Takiyuddin Hassan had denied that the government sought the emergency proclamation because it had lost the majority in Parliament, calling such claims “fake news” and saying they were offences.

In reply, Ramkarpal asked whether it would be an offence if the rakyat were to question if the government had the majority support of MPs.
“Is it wrong to ask if this might be connected to the government’s advice to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong to declare an emergency?,” he asked.
