Concerned over death threats from those he says are Umno-backed “cybertroopers”, human rights lawyer Eric Paulsen today lodged a police report at the Petaling Jaya police headquarters.
Paulsen said he had been receiving backlash from netizens after his tweet on Sunday, criticising the Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) as promoting extremism via Friday sermons, went viral.
He said today that he had not meant to insult Islam when accusing Jakim of such.
"I have never referred to the religion of Islam in my tweet, I only criticise Jakim as an agency under the Prime Minister's Department," the co-founder of Lawyers for Liberty, told reporters today.
