Police record Kit Siang's statement

PETALING JAYA - Police have recorded DAP veteran Tan Sri Lim Kit Siang's statement today, regarding the possibility of a non-Malay being appointed as Prime Minister.

Kit Siang's testimony was taken by the Bukit Aman Classified Crime Investigation Unit (USJT) at the Sea Park police station.

The matter was confirmed by Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) deputy director Datuk Rusdi Mohd Isa.

"The unit has finished recording his (Kit Siang's) testimony at 11am this morning," he told Sinar, today.

Rusdi added that the public was also reminded to always be attentive to sensitive issues and not make any statements that could affect the peace of the country.

Earlier, Kit Siang was seen arriving at the Sea Park police station at about 9.35am accompanied by his two children Lim Guan Eng and Lim Hui Ying as well as a group of supporters and some DAP leaders.

Among them were newly appointed Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform) M. Kulasegaran, Kepong MP Lim Lip Eng and Bukit Gasing assemblyman Rajiv Risyakaran.

Sinar on Monday reported that an investigation was carried out regarding the content of Kit Siang's writing in the limkitsiang.com blog on Nov 30, 2023, which touched on Constitutional issues regarding the appointment of the Prime Minister of Malaysia.

The writing was entitled 'Malaysian Constitution Provides For a Malaysian Dream And Not a Mono-Ethnic Dream As It Provides That a Non-Malay Can Be a Prime Minister.'

Kit Siang in a statement confirmed that he will testify to the police regarding a statement he issued in Manchester, United Kingdom last Nov 29 in front of Malaysian students.
