INFO NASIONAL We call upon the authorities to investigate Eric Paulsen under the Sedition Act 1948 and other laws for making clearly seditious tweets that undermine the position of Islam enshrined under the Federal Constitution, and thereby creating racial discord. We call upon the Bar Council to take appropriate disciplinary action against Eric Paulsen under the relevant provisions of the Legal Profession Act 1976 as well as the Legal Profession (Practice and Etiquette) Rules 1978 for making seditious tweets in his capacity as a legal practitioner, which quite clearly tarnishes the good name of the legal profession. We further call upon the Bar Council to immediately revoke its resolution of 19 September 2014 calling for the repeal of the Sedition Act 1948, disavow its so-called Walk for Peace and Freedom and memorandum to the authorities on 16 October 2014 further calling for the abolition of that Act, and to wholeheartedly as well as unreservedly support the Act and other laws designed to protect and maintain the Federal Constitution as well as racial and religious relations within Malaysia.
