PKR man lodges report against Ridhuan Tee over alleged 3R posts

 Batu committee member Rozan Azen Mat Rasip has urged police to investigate the social media posts under the Communications and Multimedia Act and Penal Code.

Preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah was accused of publishing ‘extremely racist’ remarks on social media.

PETALING JAYA:

A PKR member has lodged a police report against controversial preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah, urging authorities to investigate a series of Facebook posts allegedly containing racist and provocative remarks.

Rozan Azen Mat Rasip said some of Ridhuan’s postings were not only “excessively racist” but touched on 3R-related issues of race, religion and royalty.

“The report was lodged because he has repeatedly attempted to incite division among social media users by posting content that provokes racial and religious tensions,” he told FMT.

He also said several postings from May to August misled the public on current issues, including religious rulings and perspectives that were clearly incorrect.

Batu committee member Rozan Azen Mat Rasip lodged a police report against controversial preacher Ridhuan Tee Abdullah.

“I have listed the dates and examples of his Facebook posts that I believed touched on the 3R issues.”

The report was lodged at the Ampang police headquarters under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code.

Act 588 deals with the improper use of network facilities, while Section 505(b) criminalises statements made with intent to cause public fear or alarm.

Rozan said he would also lodge police reports against several other social media users who allegedly posted offensive content, including insulting Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim’s late father, belittling a state mufti and remarks involving the monarchy. - FMT
