Zaid: Swift with Muhyiddin, slow with assault cases

Former law minister Zaid Ibrahim has questioned the absence of swiftness with regard to the assault cases involving a deaf e-hailing driver Ong Ing Keong and a road construction worker Alias Awang.

He pointed out that the police were able to record statements from 66 witnesses and charge Perikatan Nasional chairperson Muhyiddin Yassin under the Sedition Act within days.

“Muhiyuddin did not assault anyone, but they said his words hurt them,” he posted on X.
