GE15 voters must know if BN wants to free politicians convicted of crimes
WHILE MIC has denied media reports that one of the items on the party’s manifesto was to free incarcerated ex-premier Datuk Seri Najib Razak, Barisan Nasional (BN) must spell out precisely its stance on leaders who are facing court charges for crimes ranging from corruption and money laundering to power abuse, among others.
This is necessary for voters in the 15th General Election (GE15) to make a wise decision after UMNO president Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi outlined at yesterday’s (Oct 10) MIC 76th annual general meeting (AGM) that BN will not take revenge against opposition leaders by dragging them to court if it comes back to power.
“Well, if the BN is taking the position that they will not investigate or prosecute politicians that have committed crimes, we must seriously consider whether we should vote for BN,” penned lawyer and human rights advocate Charles Hector in his latest blog.
