In addition, the Immigration Department has blacklisted him from renewing his passport on orders from police in Bukit Aman.
Fahmi still hopes to obtain permission from the authorities to travel to Europe next month because he is involved in a theatre performance there.
I am now working on getting clearance from Bukit Aman before my scheduled flight. If a convicted criminal with 42 corruption charges against him can get clearance to leave the country, I hope Bukit Aman can give me the clearance too. No double standards.
Malaysian satirical artist Fahmi Reza on Twitter.
The Malay Mail reported that this referred to former Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who’s facing 42 criminal charges for money laundering, abuse of power and criminal breach of trust.
Najib managed to travel to Singapore after his application to travel was approved by the Courts.
