MCMC records statement from man over an allegedly offensive post.
PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has initiated investigation and recorded statements from an individual in connection with a racially charged post uploaded on his social media account. According to the commission, the post allegedly contained racial remarks in reference to the recent appointment of the new Lieutenant General of the Malaysian Armed Forces, which carried a provocative narrative with the potential to disrupt national unity and harmony. "As part of the investigation, the individual was called in to give a statement and assist with inquiries. "MCMC also seized one mobile phone and one SIM card to aid the investigation," said MCMC in a statement on Tuesday. (July 1) It added the case is being investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) which provides for a maximum fine of RM500,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, or both, upon conviction. The commission also reminded the public to not upload, share or disseminate any content that touches on religious, racial, or royal institution sensitivities (3R), especially those that could divide society and threaten national harmony. "MCMC remains committed to ensuring that Malaysia's cyberspace remains safe, secure and respected, in line with efforts to strengthen national unity and harmony among the country's multiracial citizens," the commission added. Earlier, in a now-deleted Facebook post, Sungai Buloh PAS division chief Zaharudin Muhammad suggested that the appointment of Major General Datuk Johnny Lim Eng Seng as the first ethnic Chinese Lt Gen will open the door for Malaysia to "have its first Chinese prime minister 30 to 40 years from now". Lim, a Melaka-born officer, had served in the military for 41 years, and said he had joined the army in 1984 to help contain the communist insurgency. (ends)
