In Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) has initiated an investigation into an individual for allegedly posting content that defames the Islamic religion on Facebook. SKMM revealed that the content in question contained the word "lighad," which refers to a verse from Surah al-Hashr, Chapter 18 of the Quran, during Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's 2027 budget speech.
The material was accused of tarnishing the sacred verse of the Quran, causing distress among the public, according to the statement.
SKMM confirmed they have recorded the individual's speech to aid the investigation and seized one mobile phone and an e-sim for forensic examination purposes. The case is being pursued under Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act, which allows for a maximum fine of RM500,000 or imprisonment for up to two years, or both, if proven guilty.
SKMM emphasized that responsible social media speech should be practiced responsibly, respecting religious sensitivities and maintaining harmony among diverse communities and religions.
