The Home Ministry raided and conducted a seizure at the Toko Buku Rakyat bookstore owned by local author Benz Ali at Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur, earlier today.

When contacted, Benz confirmed the incident and expressed his disappointment with the confiscation.

“You can’t do this. What’s more, under the leadership of Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. This is just like the previous BN government.

“It’s your government, yet you can’t even control the Home Ministry. I sell books that are not listed in the banned book list.

I'm a big supporter of Universal Basic Income, so for me, it's less of a drug, and needs to expanded to more classes 😄
