THE police are practising double standards when they deal with reports lodged by the public, Teresa Kok (DAP-Seputeh) stated in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday.
She said the police did not take long to haul her up under the Internal Security Act purely on rumours and malicious reporting.
"They never called me to the police station to question me. Instead, they arrested me under the ISA," she said during the debate on the budget.
However, she said, the reports she had lodged against Utusan Malaysia remained just that, while another report by Dr Maria Mahmood (Pas-Kota Raja) against the former Selangor menteri besar Datuk Seri Dr Khir Toyo was gathering dust.
"What is the status of these reports? Are they going to investigate them?"
Kok touched on the controversial "YB J" short story published in Mingguan Malaysia last weekend. In the story, YB J, the principal character, is a politician who takes a stand against Islam and is shot at a political gathering.
The story is alleged to mirror events surrounding Kok's recent problem with the authorities.
She called on the Home Ministry to haul up the publisher for inciting violence.
"We know who it is aimed at despite scepticism from one BN MP (Datuk Bung Moktar Radin).
"The article asked for me to be shot and encourages violence against an MP."
Kok called for action against the writer, Datuk Chamil Wariya.
"A show-cause letter should be issued," she said.
