Ramesh Rao: Foreigners have no right to meddle in Malaysian politics



KUALA LUMPUR: Foreign media or foreigners found spreading false information or conspiring to topple the government by creating unrest must be dealt with severely.

Pertubuhan Minda dan Sosial Prihatin president Ramesh Rao Krishnan said they have no right to meddle with the administration of Malaysia.

Ramesh said the people should not be fooled by unreliable information spread by these irresponsible people.

"We have been ruled by foreigners in the past. Do not let history repeat. We, the people of Malaysia must defend our sovereignty for political stability, unity and racial integration," he said when contacted by Bernama.

He was asked about his decision to lodge a police report against the founder of Sarawak Report, Clare Rewcastle-Brown.

On July 15, he lodged a police report and also handed a video and an email to the police to back the allegation against Rewcastle-Brown after former Sarawak Tribune editor Lester Melanyi confessed that he had fabricated information about 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) on the whistleblower site.

Following the report, Urban Wellbeing, Housing and Local Government Minister Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan, who is BN strategic communications director, accused Sarawak Report of fabricating its damaging reports about 1MDB and the prime minister's family.

Ramesh said he would also send a memorandum to the embassy of Switzerland, where the Bruno Manser Foundation is based, to stop its association and funding of Sarawak Report.
