Lelaki disyaki buat hantaran berunsur hasutan ditahan

Police in Kemaman have arrested a 39-year-old man in connection with the investigation of sending items with a corrosive substance and defaming the King, government, and security agencies. Chief Police Officer Razi Rosli announced the arrest on Wednesday, stating that the suspect was detained in Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya. During the arrest, the police seized the suspect's mobile phone and two SIM cards believed to have been used in the incident, which will be handed over to the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for forensic digital analysis.

The man was held until Wednesday to aid the investigation under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act or Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act. In August, media reported that police were investigating the owner of a Facebook account, Ahmad Mu'min, in relation to sending items with a corrosive substance and defaming the King, government, and security agencies.
