Bersih 2.0 chairperson Ambiga Sreenevasan has accused the prime minister of "endorsing" threats against her in the run-up to the public rally for electoral reform on July 9 last year.
http://media1-cdn.malaysiakini.com/432/16e69df5507bb0433d0ce487d4c72fc9.jpgRecounting the "horrifying" experiences, she told the Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) public inquiry today that her personal safety was at stake because of "state actors and non-state actors alike".
The former Bar Council president cited a report in news portal The Malaysian Insider, which quoted premier Najib Abdul Razak as supporting Pertubuhan Seni Silat Lincah Malaysia, an organisation of silat groups.
The group had warned that it would take on Bersih 2.0 if the rally was not called off.
"I believe, if there are evil enemies who want to attack the country from without and within, ‘anak-anak lincah’ will rise to fight them,” Najib reportedly said (http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/malaysia/article/najib-endorses-silat-groups-despite-their-threat-to-bersih/) two days before the rally.
On July 2, Ambiga related, Najib had labelled her as a "threat to Islam” when he said: "Who doesn’t know Ambiga. She’s the one who threatened Islam. And below her is Mat Sabu."
