The police in Malaysia are currently investigating the owner of a Facebook account named Ahmad Mu min, following allegations of sedition and insults directed at the royal institution, the Malaysian government, and the police. Superintendent Mohd Razi Mohd Rosli of Kemaman district police revealed that the investigation was initiated after a report filed by a 29-year-old man at 11:14 AM today.
The police will proceed to determine the identity of the account owner and carry out the investigation according to established legal procedures.
The recent post on Ahmad Mu min's Facebook account allegedly claimed that police officers had kicked a motorcyclist during a joint operation at Pantai Penunjuk, Kijal, near the city, around 6:30 PM yesterday. However, this allegation has been firmly refuted by a recording that has since gone viral on social media platforms. The superintendent emphasized that the statement in question was malicious and urged the public to verify the content of any post that could potentially incite hatred against the police.
The investigation is being conducted in response to public complaints regarding illegal racing activities that were causing disturbances to public order.
