Outspoken DAP lawmaker says his spirit remains unbroken despite being sued by the PM, banned from travelling overseas and probed for sedition.
PETALING JAYA: Despite being sued by the prime minister, banned from travelling and investigated by the police for sedition and engaging in activities deemed detrimental to parliamentary democracy, Tony Pua has maintained that he is “not broken” by it all.
In a Facebook posting yesterday, the outspoken DAP lawmaker uploaded a photograph of a work of art he painted himself titled: “Shackled, Not Broken” that depicted how he felt about the political hardship he was going through.
In the painting, a male figure in torn clothes, is seen handcuffed and shackled, sitting helplessly on the ground, blindfolded and with his mouth plastered shut.
In the background are numerous media articles telling the sombre tale behind his defenceless state: “Pua barred from leaving country”; Debat 1MDB Tony-Arul Batal (Tony-Arul 1MDB Debate Cancelled); “PAC probe poser” and “Najib sues Pua and news portal owner over 1MDB remarks,” among others.
Saying the artwork was a “little personal”, Pua writes: “In the climate where the authorities are clamping down on the media, civil servants, politicians and activists in the light of the 1MDB and RM2.6 billion scandals, many including myself, undoubtedly feel shackled.”
He relates his plight, saying how he has been sued by the PM, banned from travelling overseas, kicked out from Sarawak, investigated for sedition and “activities detrimental to parliamentary democracy” as well as being pressed to resign from Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee, of which is a member.
“But I’m not broken because of the support from the strength of the ordinary man on the street who are pushing us (the Opposition) on.
“We will remain defiant and we will continue fighting to ensure a better future for Malaysia, and to ensure those guilty of robbing Malaysians blind pay for their crimes against the nation.”
He said the artwork was done at the urging of Hannah Yeoh, the Speaker of the Selangor State Assembly, for an auction at a fund-raising dinner tonight at Holiday Villa in Subang Jaya.
The proceeds from the auction will be split evenly between Impian Education and DAP Selangor.
