Malaysia is still worth saving, says Marina Mahathir
BY SOO WERN JUN
The gathering organised by Save Malaysia Demonstration Committee went on despite activist Fadiah Nadwa Fikri being called by the police for an investigation under Section 4 of the Sedition Act 1948, after she spoke at a similar event last night.Although there were police on standby, they did not interfere or move to arrest anyone. Instead, they stood by as speeches were made and the march proceeded.When met by reporters, a visibly emotional Marina urged Malaysians to not give up on the country.
“If it stops here it doesn’t stop the US Department of Justice who has got a lot of evidence on them,” she said referring to former prime minister Datuk Serk Najib Razak, who has been charged in court for allegedly being involved in the 1MDB financial scandal.“I haven’t seen him since this morning. Well, he’s been feeling betrayed for a week. But my dad, he’s very cool.
