“We are going to lodge a police report,” he told reporters after officiating an event here today.

“I have already asked him to repent. How low can he go now?”

The post in question, caught in a screenshot, was purportedly by the “Nga Kor Ming Super Fans” page.

However, Nga said yesterday that checks found it was actually from a Chinese page called “Ju Xi Wan Yak”.

He said neither page is connected to him or DAP.

Speaking today, he said Najib’s claim was ridiculous. He also said he has lodged a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and is awaiting advice from his legal counsel.

He also accused Najib of resorting to fake news, saying the former prime minister had “run out of ideas”.

“He has reached a dead end and does not know what to do,” he added.

“My advice to Najib is: please repent and return to the right path. Don’t continue to be involved in spreading slander. From the Islamic perspective, slander is a big sin.”

Nga also spoke of legislation allowing detention without trial such as the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012, the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2015, and the Prevention of Crime (Amendment and Extension) Act 2014, saying these are still vital to preventing terrorism.

He added however that these will be reviewed to prevent abuse.

“We believe that a review would be more appropriate, just to prevent abuse.

“For counter-terrorism, preventive laws are important. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. The important thing is that we do not abuse these laws.”
