KUALA LUMPUR: Commercial Crime Investigation Department (CCID) director Datuk Seri Amar Singh said blogger Raja Petra Kamarudin (RPK) should write the truth and not be a “lapdog” to anyone.
The senior cop said this in his Facebook post in response to Raja Petra’s racist remark touching on the Sikh community’s practice of wearing turbans.
Amar said Raja Petra had admitted in his article of being a mercenary writer and not an investigate reporter as he had long claimed.
“But even if one is such a writer the least he can do is have the morals and integrity to write about the truth.........don’t be a ‘lap dog’ to anyone.
“Even more surprising is when RPK snaps back with a demeaning and derogatory statement to ridicule a person due to race.......whatever respect left is lost........because “racist and discriminatory remarks are the weapons used by the weak........the maximum of hatred for the minimum of reason.”
Amar said the Sikhs hold the turban to very high regard and no one should ridicule and try to undermine the community.
“We have a much stronger grit and courage in us,” he wrote before ending his posting with “rest In peace RPK.”
Amar had prior to this challenged Raja Petra to produce evidence over the latter’s accusation that police had stolen over RM40 million while probing Datuk Seri Najib Razak.
He said Raja Petra should be brave and lodge a police report in Malaysia if he had credible information that police had stolen RM43.3-million which belonged to Umno.
However, Raja Petra responded by making a deragotary reference to Amar’s turban in a latest article posted on his website.
