Bring it on, Sim tells PAS leader on threat of legal action
Published on: Thursday, June 26, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 26, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: DAP deputy secretary-general Steven Sim said he is waiting for a letter of demand from Zaharudin Muhammad. PETALING JAYA: DAP deputy secretary-general Steven Sim says he is ready to go to court to defend his criticism of a PAS leader who described the human resources minister's comments on his Facebook post as prejudicial. 'I'm waiting for the letter of demand from his lawyer,' Sim said in a Facebook post today. The Bukit Mertajam MP was responding to Zaharudin Muhammad, who said he was considering legal action over Sim's criticism of a Facebook post related to the recent promotion of a Chinese officer to the rank of lieutenant-general in the armed forces. In his post, Zaharudin had speculated that Malaysia could see its first prime minister of Chinese descent in the next 30 to 40 years. The son-in-law of PAS president Abdul Hadi Awang also uploaded a screenshot of a news report about Johnny Lim's promotion which he said was only for illustrative purposes. The post, which was subsequently deleted, prompted accusations of racism from several quarters and criticism, including from Zaharudin's own party. Sim was among those who called for Zaharudin to be investigated. He said today that Zaharudin, the Sungai Buloh PAS chief, had fanned racial sentiments and that he had merely spoken out against racism when criticising him. 'Now you want to take legal action against me? I will not budge in confronting this PAS leader who is racist, prejudiced and insulting to our servicemen. 'If defending the harmony of our multiracial society and the dignity of the armed forces means I get sued by this PAS leader, I am ready.' * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

UN expert urges rejection of Myanmar election 'fraud'
GENEVA: Elections being planned by Myanmar's ruling junta are a ploy to feign legitimacy and should be rejected by the international community as a "fraud", a UN expert said on Wednesday (June 25). Myanmar has been engulfed in a brutal conflict since February 2021, when Min Aung Hlaing's(pic) military wrested power from the civilian government of Aung San Suu Kyi. The military has said it is planning to hold "a free and fair multi-party democracy general election" around the end of this year or in early 2026. But Tom Andrews, the United Nations' special rapporteur on the rights situation in Myanmar, said the suggestion that truly democratic elections could be held in a junta-controlled Myanmar was laughable. "They want to find an exit ramp to the international pressure," he told journalists in Geneva. Since the 2021 coup, trade sanctions have isolated Myanmar, making it increasingly dependent on China and Russia for economic and military support. Min Aung Hlaing himself is under multiple global sanctions and the International Criminal Court's chief prosecutor has sought an arrest warrant for him for alleged crimes against humanity committed against the country's Rohingya Muslims. The junta, Andrews said, was "trying to create this mirage of an election exercise that will create a legitimate civilian government". But "you cannot have an election when you imprison and torture and execute your opponents, when it is illegal to report the truth as a journalist, when it's illegal to speak out and criticise the junta," he said. "It's really important that countries reject this idea of an election and not allow the military junta to attempt to get away with this fraud." Andrews, who is an independent expert mandated by the UN Human Rights Council but who does not speak on behalf of the United Nations itself, highlighted that more than 6,800 people had been killed in Myanmar since the military coup. At the same time, he said, some 22,000 political prisoners are languishing behind bars -- "most of whom are guilty of only exercising their fundamental rights, including speaking out and participating in demonstrations opposing a brutal military junta". A Myanmar woman was for instance recently arrested by the junta for "spreading propaganda" over a Facebook post celebrating Aung San Suu Kyi's 80th birthday. Aung San Suu Kyi, who won the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, has herself been incarcerated since the coup, and is serving a 27-year sentence on charges rights groups dismiss as fabricated. - AFP

When Hadi Awang's son-in-law has a crystal ball foretelling first Chinese PM emerging in 2058
AS twice former primer Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad dropped by the National Health Institute (IJN) yesterday (June 25) to visit his foe-turned-friend Tan Sri Hadi Awang, one would have expected the latter to comment on the alleged racial incitement unleased by his son-in-law Zaharuddin Muhammad. Riding on the recent appointment of Datuk Johnny Lim Engh Seng as the first Chinese military officer to climb to the rank of Lieutenant-General in the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM), the Singai Buloh PAS chief has made headlines with his prophecy that Malaysia can now expect 'its first Chinese Prime Minister – the 50th – by 2058'! In all frankness Zaharuddin would probably not have earned the wrath of DAP national adviser Lim Guan Eng had he not attached on his Facebook post image of the Melaka-born officer who was recently conferred the prestigious three-star rank in the country's military. At best, the retaliation could be milder if he were to stick to his insinuation that 'both parents of the (imaginary) Kg Sungai Baru-born PM were granted Malaysian citizenship via the Malaysia My Second Home scheme 23 years earlier'. Interestingly, Zaharuddin has uploaded back his controversial post which he had deleted earlier by justifying that his action was not one of cowardice but because 'it was swamped by cybertroopers whose only intention is to destroy truth'. Sadly, no PAS backing He further defended his action that while he had 'no explicit or implicit' intention to belittle Johnny Lim's military promotion, this should not be made a precursor to the appointment of a non-Muslim/non-Bumiputera PM appointment in the future. On this note, Zaharuddin has contemplated taking legal action against DAP's deputy secretary-general Steven Sim Chee Keong on grounds of prejudice by having accused him of criticising Johnny Lim's appointment by virtue of him (Johnny Lim) being a Chinese. Also under his legal radar is social news site World of Buzz which Zaharuddin claimed had spined his original post with the headline 'PAS Politician Warns that Firat Malaysian Chinese Lientenant-General Will Lead to Non-Malay PM in the Future'. Whatever said and done, the joke is that PAS is seemingly distancing itself from defending the son-on-law of the Islamist party's supreme leader but instead chooses 'to celebrate diversity'. 'The appointment of Datuk Johnny Lim as ATM's Lieutenant-General is a historic event that should be celebrated by all citizens, not questioned, let alone belittled simply because of his racial background,' justified party secretary-general Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan. 'The ability, achievement, progress and success of any Malaysian in any field is good news for all, not the other way around. Congratulation from PAS to Lieutenant-General Datuk Johnny Lim.' With such tone, one wonders if Zaharuddin would be dealt a similar blow that befell Perak state assembly opposition leader and former Perak commissioner Razman Zakaria who did not receive any party backing following a slew of slanders on political opponents. – June 26, 2025
