Human rights group Lawyers for Liberty (LFL) has accused Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil of abusing his ministerial power by calling for a probe into a poster that implied his involvement in the Good Vibes Festival (GVF) 2023 debacle.
According to LFL director Zaid Malek, Fahmi is free to file a civil suit for defamation against parties responsible, instead of calling the enforcement authorities to act on the matter.
"It is a conflict of interest and a clear abuse of ministerial power that a minister has ordered, or set in motion, the enforcement authority under his control for an investigation over an alleged libellous poster made about himself.
