Dr M: Complaining about abuses of power is not seditious


The government is unlikely to cut tax rates due to the RM1 trillion debt and liabilities as well as lower revenue collection from SST.

PETALING JAYA: Public complaints against those who abuse the rule of law are legitimate and do not breach any law, and neither should they be construed as sedition, says the Prime Minister.

“(These complaints) will not be considered as sedition in any way. They will be regarded as free speech,” said Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad (pic).
