Police are not amused by a posting made by a Dr Mahathir Mohamad Facebook fan page questioning why there were police cars with "emblems" from China in Malaysia.
The posting on the "Mahathir The Legend" Facebook page showed two white cars with sirens on top and the words "Police" written in English and Chinese on the sides.
The post then asked why the Home Ministry allowed police cars with Chinese police emblems in the country.
"What is so special about China that they can do this?" the posting wanted to know.
However, Bukit Aman corporate communications chief Asmawati Ahmad clarified the cars were props for a movie being filmed in Putrajaya and meant for cinemas in China.
"The film is about the life of a police officer in the fictitious 'Han City' and is for screening in China.
"Police take seriously the allegations and questions raised by the Facebook page because it clearly has ill-intent and tries to create a negative perception towards a government agency," Asmawati (below) said in a statement today.
She advised the public to use social media responsibly and to verify the things they intend to post before spreading material that can cause public unease.- Mkini
