PBS probed over controversial billboard

Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) deputy president Yee Mo Chai said the controversial billboard by his party which was taken down in Sandakan this morning is being investigated by the police under Section 504 of the Penal Code.

Section 504 of the Penal Code deals with intentional insult with intent to provoke a breach of the peace.

The PBS billboard shows Lim, the finance minister, purportedly "threatening" not to help resolve a local hospital parking issue unless DAP "wins" in the coming Sandakan by-election.

Erected along Batu 3 Jalan Utara Sandakan, it reproduces a screenshot from Astro AEC Evening News, Mandarin Edition with the headline: "Insufficient parking lot in Sandakan hospital; Lim: If we win, then find me, if we lose, then there's nothing I can do."
