Veteran politician Karpal Singh has warned his detractors of dire  consequences for lodging false police reports against him for allegedly  questioning the Bumiputera privileges.    He said the complainants, mainly from Umno youth movement, should  realise that legal action can be taken against false reports.
Recalling  his last Sunday's press conference, the DAP national chairman said he  had never questioned the privileges or special positions given to Malays  and natives from Sabah and Sarawak.
“I had only asked the  federal government for a time frame to end the privileges because a  beginning shall have an end,” he said his statement.
He slammed  his detractors that they were wasting taxpayers’ money and police  resources by lodging false reports against him.
“They should not  be playing with false reports . . . it’s a serious matter.
“They  should be prepared to face the consequences,” said the Bukit Gelugor MP,  without deliberating on actions he would take.
He called on the  Attorney-General Abdul Gani Patail and Inspector General of Police Musa  Hassan to immediately probe into the veracity of the police reports  lodged against him.
“Their investigation shall not be carried out  to charge me because I did not commit any crime here.
“The  complainant shall be charged if they were found lodging false police  reports,” said Karpal.
He also chided Umno youth for making it a  habit of misconstruing his statements as seditious.
He said he  would not mind giving a ‘lecture’ to Umno youth members on the Sedition  Act 1948.
With the latest reports, Karpal has now been slapped  with 109 police reports in all.
He boasted that he was probably a  ‘world record holder’ for having over 100 police reports lodged against  an elected MP.
“But I am unperturbed by it because I have never  committed any criminal acts warranting so much reports,” he insisted.
