Lelaki ditahan disyaki ugut guna pedang di media sosial

A 46-year-old man was arrested in Langgar yesterday and held for three days since early today, according to the Perlis police. The suspect, who is originally from Kedah and works independently, was detained in Langgar yesterday and remanded in custody three days ago. Upon apprehension, police found a weapon that had been used in an attack inside the suspect's vehicle.

The case is being investigated under Section 6(1) of the Dangerous Drugs, Explosives and Firearms Act 1958, and the statement was released by Bernama. The police believe the threat was motivated by a personal misunderstanding. They stated that they received a report from the police regarding a viral post on a Facebook account displaying threatening content yesterday, which is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

In response, Zaihairul warned that strict action will be taken against anyone who acts outside the bounds of the law and attempts to provoke or threaten national security.
