Ambiga claims Unity Government did deal with UMNO to investigate Tommy Thomas
"What else have you given away (to UMNO)?"
We've just finished with the police at Bukit Aman. We were called to give our statements. What's going on here eh? This is what we think.

Human rights lawyer Ambiga Sreenasan after giving a statement to Bukit Aman police over her attendance at the Dark Forces book launch back on 17th September 2022, made a statement together with her fellow lawyer Siti Kasim who was also called up by the police.
Ambiga claims that the Unity Government (Anwar Ibrahim) has done a deal with UMNO (Ahmad Zahid Hamidi) to investigate and persecute former attorney general Tommy Thomas, over his role in prosecuting top UMNO politicians.
Ambiga claims this is a clear abuse of power and what else did Anwar give away to UMNO to form the government.
Siti Kasim added this suppression of freedom of expression and curbing of citizens’ rights.

Your headline reads : "Ambiga claims Unity Government did deal with UMNO to investigate Tommy Thomas". Two things come to mind immediately from this article that follows the statement.
a) what Unity government are we talking about. Is there Unity in this government led by Anwar Ibrahim or is it simply a marriage of convenience?
b) assuming it is a "Unity government" the next and more important question about this opaque statement by Ambiga is what does she mean by "Dealt With" and how did the government deal with UMNO to investigate Tommy Thomas?
For an advocate of "freer government and openness in governments" she seems to say a lot about nothing or at the very least seems very coy about details about how government dealt with UMNO in investigating Tommy Thomas. What is it about Tommy Thomas that government wanted investigated?
Another false positive.
