Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said in a statement that the police view such claims seriously as any attempt to subtly or openly revive communist ideology is contrary to the principles of the Rukun Negara and may threaten the nation’s security and sovereignty.
“Malaysia has firmly rejected communist ideology since 1948, and the promotion or glorification of such ideology can be classified as a threat to public order and national unity,” he said.
“A comprehensive investigation is being conducted into the organisation and the allegations regarding unregistered activities, the use of communist symbols, and subversive elements.
“Any attempt to undermine Malaysia’s sovereignty or promote ideologies that are against the Federal Constitution will be addressed firmly according to existing laws.”
Razarudin said Bukit Aman’s classified crime investigation unit is probing the matter under the Societies Act 1966, Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA).
Section 505(b) prohibits the spreading of statements or rumours intended to cause fear or alarm, potentially prompting criminal acts against the state or public order, while Section 233 of the CMA deals with the misuse of network facilities. - FMT
