DAP chairman has slammed Datuk Seri Muhammad Sanusi Md Noor for pointing fingers at Free Malaysia Today (FMT) for misquoting and misreporting him, saying that the Kedah Menteri Besar should own up to his earlier remarks about “erasing Penang” instead of blaming news portals.
Lim said if it is true that the news portal was inaccurate in its reporting on the matter, Sanusi should have immediately contacted FMT and asked for a retraction and correction of the news report on May 31.
“Why bring up now, 7 days later, after being called up for questioning by the police under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, the Sedition Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998?” the former Penang chief minister said in a statement today (June 8).
Lim said if FMT had refused to make the necessary corrections, Sanusi could have then lodged a police report against the news portal.
