Police say Eric See-To released on bail after probe into online post mocking Quranic verse

Datuk Eric See-To, also known as social media influencer 'Lim Sian See', has been released on police bail after a probe into an online post that mocked a Quranic verse. The incident came after Lim was summoned to the Brickfields District Police Headquarters to record a statement. His case was subsequently referred to Bukit Aman.

Lim's post questioned the use of the word 'lighad' in Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's speech during the Supply Bill (Budget) 2027 announcement. The term 'lighad', derived from Surah al-Hasyr verse 18, translates to tomorrow or the future.
