[KiniNews] A PAS lawmaker who is facing an impending lawsuit from Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim quipped that the people may end up remembering Anwar as Malaysia's "father of lawsuits" (bapa saman negara).
Awang Hashim (Perikatan Nasional-Pendang) said this is the image that will be cultivated if the prime minister continues going after critics with lawsuits.
"I worry that the people may come to know Tambun (Anwar) as the father of lawsuits, for practising a culture of fear-mongering, frightening those who speak up.
"(He will be) afraid of his own shadow if this continues," Awang said in the Dewan Rakyat today while debating on Budget 2023.
Anwar had issued two letters of demand against the MP over alleged defamation.
