“There is nothing (malicious about it),” he told Malaysiakini, adding that he would not backtrack on his remarks.

Yesterday, it was reported that Lim stated the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s speech at the opening of Parliament was prepared by the government.

This drew the ire of some quarters and a police report was lodged against him, urging the DAP supremo be investigated for sedition.

He said the King was reading out the speech prepared by the government when he said he wanted the continuation of the current administration to realise the goal of making the country a high-income nation.

The Gelang Patah MP then stressed that the Opposition had made it very clear that it supported the monarchy.

A police report was lodged against him and fellow Pakatan Harapan leaders –Amanah President Mohamad Sabu and PKR President Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail by three individuals today.
