NEXT SEDITION ARREST - Ambiga for saying BTN a brainwashing unit to turn Malays into RACIST & BIGOTS?

NEXT SEDITION ARREST - Ambiga for saying BTN a brainwashing unit to turn Malays into RACIST & BIGOTS?
Malaysia's sedition blitz continues with police now investigating Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan for sedition following remarks the lawyer allegedly made about Biro Tata Negara (BTN) or the National Civics Bureau at a conference in Kuala Lumpur recently.
The Malaysian Insider learnt that a police report was lodged against the lawyer by a Malay group, Persatuan Pertubuan Merah Terengganu, on October 2.
Ambiga, the former Bar Council president and now patron for people's movement, Negara-ku, allegedly claimed BTN camps are nothing more than brainwashing sessions to turn Malays into racists and bigots.
The former co-chair of electoral reforms group Bersih 2.0 is being investigated under Section 4(1)(b) of the Sedition Act 1948.
The lawyer was reported to have said that parents, whose children had attended the camps, were baffled over the objectives in the modules.
"I have met several Malays who have attended these camps and they come out feeling disgusted and angry.
"What does that tell you? Malays are being brainwashed into becoming racists and bigots at these national camps," Ambiga was quoted as saying in a report by The Malaysian Insider on September 30.
She was speaking during the “4th national conference on non-discrimination: unity and social cohesion in Malaysia – making it possible” in Kuala Lumpur.
Terengganu police had also contacted The Malaysian Insider yesterday and have indicated that they wanted to record the statement of the journalist who had filed the report.
The National Civics Bureau is under the Prime Minister's Department and camps are held regularly, especially for civil servants.
Ambiga, who has been vocal on issues on racism and human rights, joins a string of opposition politicians, social activists, law academics, and news portal Malaysiakini and one of its journalists, as well as Muslim preachers, all of whom have either been charged with sedition, facing trial or are under investigation in recent weeks.
