Hina orang Islam, rakyat Singapura diusir dari Malaysia

A 27-year-old man in Singapore faces potential imprisonment of up to five years, a fine, or both for allegedly uploading a video that is claimed to defame the Muslim community. According to Singaporean police, they received a report on March 1st but found the man had left the country before the report could be made. The individual was deported from Malaysia today with assistance from Malaysian police before being detained upon arrival in Singapore, according to a report by the Straits Times.

If convicted, the man could face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both. The Singapore police stated that he also assisted in separate investigations involving a video showing someone tearing the Quran. Reports from the Straits Times suggest the man is believed to be the same individual captured in the video allegedly recorded on public buses in Singapore.

On March 7th, police issued five notices to Meta, the company operating the world's largest social media platform, to halt access to the alleged content for users in Singapore. The police said they take seriously any action that could generate animosity, hatred, anger, or discord between communities or religions. "Anyone who makes statements or acts in a manner that can incite hostility, contempt, anger, or quarrel between communities or religions in Singapore will be subject to strict action in accordance with the law," according to police.
