DAP offers to represent K'tan shop owner fined over shorts pro-bono
DAP is offering free legal representation to the non-Muslim shop owner in Kota Bharu, Kelantan who was fined for wearing shorts.
Party chairperson Lim Guan Eng said that his deputy Gobind Singh Deo and Jelutong MP RSN Rayer can be the woman's lawyers if she chooses to challenge the matter in court.
“I've communicated with our senior lawyers, Gobind and Rayer, and they're willing to take up this case on behalf of the woman so that we can stand up and protect our rights from being eroded and deprived… of course, without any charges.
“If we do not stand up and fight together, they (Perikatan Nasional) will continue with their extreme acts that would jeopardise peace and harmony of the country,” he said during a press conference in Penang today.
Lim said the fine issued by the Kota Bharu Municipal Council (MPKB) was an instance of PN’s “extremism and racism”.
