A 38-year-old man in Kamunting, Taiping, Malaysia was
arrested by police yesterday, April 28, for uploading a provocative
Facebook posting that insulted Islam.
Perak police said the suspect,
who hails from Kampung Stesen, Kuala Kangsar allegedly committed the
offence on September 7, 2015. The suspect used a pseudonym when
uploading the statements in social media, possibly aimed at sparking
racial tension.
His
statement prompted the Malaysia Inspector-General of Police
to order the police to arrest the suspect. (Above is the tweet from the
Inspector-General of Police, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar instructing the

Rahim said Bukit Aman's Classified Crimes Unit nabbed the suspect at his home at 10am yesterday.
"Police have also confiscated three handphones and a pouch bag from him," he said in a statement issued here today.
Rahim said the suspect would be investigated under the Sedition Act 1948 and Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
