BEAUFORT Umno Division members want the police to take action against the writer behind an alleged defamation article published on facebook regarding Housing and Local Government Deputy Minister, Datuk Lajim Ukin recently.
Divisional Secretary, Jusih Sarin who was among those who lodge a police report on this matter at the Karamunsing Police Head Quaters said the article had resorted to insulting Lajim as well as used a caricature to ridicule him.
"He is an influential and relevant leader and we cannot leave the negative statements written about him just like that.
"This maybe the work of individuals who think of their own benefits and irresponsible," he said, adding that Lajim, Who is Beaufort MP, is good and caring leader to his people.
In this respect, he hoped that the police would carry out investigations and find out who was behind the article and let Lajim himself decide whether he wants to press charge for defamation.
Meanwhile, party comittee member, Abdul Sanon Sapi who is also President of the Ex-Servicemen Association of Malaysia, Sabah Branch said those who think Lajim is at fault for something, should go to the media and not post it on sosial networks.
"Lajim is an adviser to this association and as members we are dissappointed to see people talking bad things about his as he is good person and leader," he pointed out.
