Politicians show solidarity with Hannah Yeoh after she is called in to Bukit Aman for questioning


PETALING JAYA: Politicians from both sides of the political divide have expressed concern over former deputy women, family and community development minister Hannah Yeoh being summoned for questioning by Bukit Aman over a Twitter post.

Umno's Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said said the authorities’ questioning of Yeoh sets a bad precedent as it leads to other leaders being questioned by the authorities simply for expressing their views on social media.
