‘As I stressed before, no leader in Malaysia is free from criticism.’
Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad regrets the arrest of a writer who purportedly criticised Johor Crown Prince Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim on social media.
“The people are free to criticise leaders if needed. Freedom of expression is important in a democracy. Except for threats, slander and insults towards the rulers,” he tweeted this afternoon. On Monday, the premier called the crown prince “stupid” and a “little boy” over his comments related to the revelation that a plot of federal land earmarked for the Johor Bahru-Singapore Rapid Transit System was transferred to his father, Johor ruler Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar.“If there is such a report, it is possible that someone else lodged it.
