KUALA LUMPUR – Police are expected to quiz Tamrin Ghafar, the son of former deputy prime minister, the late Ghafar Baba, next Tuesday.

This is believed to be related to a blog post predicting DAP’s future dominance in national politics, according to Free Malaysia Today.

“Tamrin is scheduled to give his statement to the police on April 16 at 10.30am,” his lawyer, Rafique Rashid Ali, said.

It was reported that in his blog post on April 4, Tamrin said that all Malays and Malay rulers must be aware that a disaster will strike if DAP takes over.

Titled In 10 years, DAP will become master, he said in the blog, that DAP holds the largest bloc of MPs in today’s government, with 42 seats.

“Can we imagine the 22% of DAP ruling over 70% of the Malays in Malay land?” he asked.

The former Batu Berendam MP also went on to say that PAS must emerge as a defender of Malay rights and Islam, calling on the Islamic party to foster young leaders committed to national and religious interests.

Yesterday, in a post on X, former law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said that he had told Tamrin to reconsider the tone of his blog posts.

“Lo and behold, he (Tamrin) said it was too late. Bukit Aman had already summoned him for questioning over his article, predicting DAP would rule the country in 10 years,” Zaid said. – April 10, 2024
