IPOH – The police are to call up activist Mohd Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin and several other individuals to assist the investigation into a poster of Perak Menteri Besar Datuk Saarani Mohamad uploaded on Facebook and Twitter.

Perak police chief Datuk Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said an investigation paper into the artwork was opened following a report lodged by Perak Umno Youth chief Mohd Ariff Abdul Majid at the Kuala Kangsar district police headquarters yesterday.

“We will call them up soon. The case is investigated under Section 504 of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998,” he told Bernama when contacted today.

Yesterday, Ariff made a police report on a poster that he described as slanderous and a deliberate attempt to incite hatred against the Perak menteri besar. – Bernama, June 18, 2021
