Lelaki ditahan dalam kes hantaran berunsur hasutan

Police in Kemaman have detained a 39-year-old man to assist with an investigation into the sending of defamatory and insulting material targeting the royal family, government, and security agencies. This comes after media reported on August 15 that police were investigating the owner of a Facebook account for similar offenses. The 39-year-old was arrested in Damansara Damai, Petaling Jaya, on Tuesday.

During the arrest, police seized his mobile phone and two SIM cards believed to have been used in the case for further investigation. These items have been handed over to Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission for digital forensic analysis. The man was held under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act or Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.
