Cops record Eric See-To’s statement over controversial post
The social media influencer was later released on police bail.
Social media personality Lim Sian See, known online as Eric See-To, was called to the Brickfields police station in Kuala Lumpur to give a recorded statement about a controversial post. The statement was later transferred to Dang Wangi police station before being forwarded to Bukit Aman, according to a source. See-To had questioned the use of the word "lighad" in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's speech when presenting the 2027 budget on Friday.
He believed it meant "the future" or "the days ahead," but the word also appears in a Quranic verse referring to the afterlife. See-To claimed his comment was included in someone else's post and he was unaware of the Quranic reference when he made it.
