Malaysian Indian MPs Express Deep Disappointment Over AGC’s Decision Not to Charge Firdaus Wong and Zamri Vinoth

KUALA LUMPUR, 24 July 2025 – A group of Malaysian Indian Members of Parliament have expressed their profound disappointment over the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) decision not to proceed with legal action against Firdaus Wong and Zamri Vinoth, citing insufficient evidence.

In a joint media statement, the MPs rejected the AGC’s justification, pointing out that numerous police reports had been lodged and that substantial evidence — including videos, public statements, and social media posts — had been widely circulated.

“These materials not only sparked unease within the community, but also contain clear elements of insult and incitement touching on racial and religious sensitivities,” the statement read.

The MPs expressed concern that the decision sends a troubling signal of double standards in the legal system when the alleged offenders are certain individuals, potentially undermining the public’s confidence in the principles of justice and equality under the law.

“We stress that the law must not be applied selectively. Any form of insult, hate speech, or incitement against any race or religion must be addressed firmly and fairly, regardless of who the perpetrator is,” the statement added.

They called on the AGC to objectively re-evaluate its decision based on the available and reported evidence, urging for justice to be upheld and public trust in the nation’s legal system to be restored.

The MPs concluded by reaffirming their commitment to speak up and stand with the people of Malaysia — particularly the Indian community — in demanding justice, respect, and equal protection under the law.
