Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu
Bakar is accused of jumping the gun by instructing the Penang police to
act on a Facebook posting attributed to Deputy Chief Minister II P
Ramasamy, which says he has no fear of facing the Malays.
Ramasamy said the posting Khalid referred to was "doctored" by BN cybertroopers, and carried a challenge to the Malays to bring on the May 13.
"It is a malicious lie out to slander me. Whoever did it even spelt my name wrongly. Didn't the IGP notice that? This is the work of BN cybertroopers," he said.
"The
IGP should investigate the matter first, to see if the posting really
came from me, before instructing the Penang police chief (Abdul Rahim
Hanafi) to come after me," Ramasamy (left) told Malaysiakini.
Today, the IGP tweeted a photo of the alleged Fcebook posting by Ramasamy, which says, "Saya tidak pernah gentar berdepan dengan orang Melayu. Sekiranya peristiwa berdarah itu berulang kembali pada hari ini. Kerana saya sudah lama bersedia. MIC, Gerakan dan MCA mungkin takut. Jika anda mahukan 13 Mei, anda bawa la sekarang...".
The posting was signed off as "R. Ramasami, Deputy Chief Minister II."
(Translation: I have never been afraid of confronting the Malays. If the bloody incident recurs today. Because I have long been prepared. MIC, Gerakan and MCA may be scared. If you want 13 May, bring it on, lah).
About
9am this morning, Khalid had tweeted "Kerap kali @PDRMsia ingatkan
supaya hati2 keluarkan statement, masih ada yg degil. KP Pg sila jlnkan
tugas..."
(Translation: The PDRM has constantly reminded people to be careful when making statements, there still are the stubborn. Penang police chief, please do your duty...).
May 13, 1969, was the worst racial riots the country has seen and both sides of the political divide have been reminding the nation not to encourage a repeat of the bloody incident.
Ramasamy said he was already investigated by the police last year about a tweet on May 13, but nothing came out of the case.
The statement then was a response to Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who said it was possible May 13 would recur if there were no efforts to preserve racial harmony in the country.
"I am ready to be called in by the police, but please do your homework first before seeking me out," added Ramasamy, who is the assemblyperson for Perai.
