A 46-year-old man was arrested in Langgar on Sunday after being accused of making threats that spread fear via social media, according to police in Perlis. The primary suspect, from Kedah, was taken into custody in Langgar on Sunday and detained for three days starting from Monday. During the arrest, police found a weapon that had been used to injure another individual inside the suspect's vehicle, according to Zaihairul Idrus, head of the Perlis Police.

He stated that the threats were believed to stem from a personal disagreement. Prior to this incident, he noted that they had received a report from police about a tainted message on a Facebook account displaying threatening content on Sunday, which is being investigated under Section 507 of the Dangerous Drugs Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Zaihairul warned that stringent measures would be taken against any individual acting outside the bounds of the law and attempting to provoke or undermine national security.
