Probe Facebook user accused of insulting Prophet Muhammad, says minister

 

National unity minister Aaron Ago Dagang said insulting any religion undermined national harmony and could disrupt peace and security.

PETALING JAYA: 

National unity minister Aaron Ago Dagang has urged the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission to investigate a Facebook user for allegedly insulting the Prophet Muhammad on social media.

Aaron said firm action should be taken against anyone who issues statements which touch on religious sensitivities.

“I want to remind everyone that there is no place for any form of religious hatred or provocation in our country,” he said in a Facebook post.

“The government will take stern action against anyone attempting to create division or tension between different races and religions.”

Aaron said insulting any religion undermines national harmony and could disrupt peace and security.

“Let us all live in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding to safeguard the peace and harmony of our beloved country,” he said. - FMT
