PKR man lodges report against Ridhuan Tee over alleged 3R posts
Batu committee member Rozan Azen Mat Rasip has urged police to investigate the social media posts under the Communications and Multimedia Act and Penal Code.
In a move to address what they deem as racially and religiously inflammatory content, a PKR member has reported controversial preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah to the authorities. Rozan Azen Mat Rasip, a member of the Batu committee, filed a police complaint against the preacher, alleging that his Facebook posts contain remarks that promote racial and religious tensions. The complaint, lodged at the Ampang police headquarters, cites Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code.
Rozan claims that Ridhuan's posts from May to August not only contained excessively racist content but also addressed sensitive 3R-related issues, including race, religion, and royalty. He argues that these posts were intended to incite division among social media users. Rozan listed specific dates and examples of Ridhuan's Facebook posts that he believed crossed the line, touching on contentious subjects.
Under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, the improper use of network facilities is a punishable offense, while Section 505(b) of the Penal Code criminalizes statements made with the intent to cause public fear or alarm. Rozan also expressed his intention to file additional police reports against other social media users who have posted similarly offensive content.
These allegations include insults directed at Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's late father, derogatory remarks about a state mufti, and content involving the monarchy.
