Controversy[edit]
On 22 September 2022, Ti Lian Ker asked Malaysians to be forgiving to the health condition of incarcerated former prime minister Najib Razak.[1] PKR deputy information chief Chua Wei Kiat reminded him not to feed ‘perverse idea’ to the rakyat.[2] DAP chairman Lim Guan Eng challenged MCA to prove its allegations that disgraced Najib Razak is suffering from torture behind bars at the Kajang Prison.[3]
Najib was convicted of stealing RM42 million from former 1MDB subsidiary SRC International Sdn Bhd and sent to prison on August 23 to serve a 12-year jail sentence. He was also fined RM210 million and will have to serve another five years if he does not pay the amount.[4]
