Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin will hand over to the police the names of people suspected of handling the false account of the movement in the Facebook social website for further investigation.
Based on investigation and information gathered by him and his colleagues, the Rembau parliamentarian said 'one or two individuals' were suspected of handling the false Facebook website ‘Pemuda Umno Malaysia’.
"A police report was made last Monday. We are still waiting to be called up by the police to give statements.
"I will hand over information on the individual (suspected of) handling the false Facebook website to the police for further investigation when called to give statements later," he told reporters when attending the Raya Open House by former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi at the Dewan Seri Endon, Precinct 10, Putrajaya today.
When asked whether the false Facebook website was handled by someone within the Umno Youth circle, Khairy declined to comment further.
“For the moment, I don't want to identify the person concerned. I feel it's unfair because it is still being investigated," he said.
‘Not Umno Youth official site’
Khairy pointed out that the "Pemuda Umno Malaysia" account was not the account handled by the movement but run by a group that was not from the official circle who wanted to use the Umno Youth name.
"The account is not the Umno Youth official website. We have several platforms in the Facebook such as my own account and that of Umno Youth vice-head Datuk Razali Ibrahim as well as through the new media unit."I'm not certain how long this page had existed until this thing (the poster with seditious undertone was uploaded on Aug 18)," he said.
On Monday, Barisan Nasional Youth executive secretary, Ibdilillah Ishak, had lodged a police report on the existence of the false Umno Youth account in the social website Facebook.
