Deputy inspector-general of police Noor Rashid Ibrahim has defended the detention of three individuals for allegedly insulting Sultan Muhammad V on social media.
This, he said, is as the police need to take "strict action" to ensure national security is not at risk.
"The matter has gone viral on social media and if the police do not act accordingly, we fear that it might trigger a situation that could jeopardise the country's security.
"So we have to take strict action, according to the confines of the law," he told a press conference at the Royal Malaysia Police College in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur, today.
Earlier, Noor Rashid had attended a forum on child abuse, with Deputy Women, Family and Community Development Minister Hannah Yeoh.
