A TOTAL 894 reports were lodged against controversial preacher Zamri Vinoth over his remarks about kavadi bearers, reported The New Straits Times.

Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the investigation paper has been referred to the Attorney-General's Chambers.

"The AGC is still studying the IP and we have yet to receive further instructions," he told NST.

He said the IP on the radio DJ's who had allegedly mocked a religious festival had also been referred to the A-GC and is being studied.

Razarudin said of the religion and royalty (3R) issues this year, 17 investigations involved issues touching on the monarchy, 12 on on religious sensitivities and two on racial issues.

"The police have yet to receive any instruction from the AGC on these cases," he said.

Razarudin said touching or commenting on 3R issues with bad intentions could increase tensions in society, threatening national security and public order.

"Another 3R concept, Research, Responsibility and Report, should be cultivated before sharing any information on social media," he said, adding that mutual respect and a love of peace must be prioritised. - March 12, 2025
