JOHOR BARU: The police are taking a serious view of a video titled ‘We Will Blast Malaysia!!’, uploaded on social networking sites as a threat that could jeopardise national security.
Inspector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said police remained vigilant of issues which could jeopardise national security and public order.
“We are working on it. There is no need for me to say whether we have identified or not (those who are distributing the video). We do not take such threats lightly,” he said.
He was speaking to reporters after the launch of the Tunku Laksamana Johor Tunku Abdul Jalil Mosque by the Sultan of Johor, Sultan Ibrahim Sultan Iskandar at the state police headquarters today.
He was asked to comment on the video lasting one minute and 28 seconds, which was uploaded by “Anonymous Malaysia” via YouTube yesterday, displaying the bombings in Bangkok, Thailand recently.
At the end of the video is a note in English, “Wait For Our Blast At Bersih 4.0”.
Khalid reminded the public not to be fooled by the statements by some lawyers that the Bersih 4 rally was not illegal, stressing that the rally was indeed, illegal.
Previously, Home Ministry secretary-general Alwi Ibrahim had issued a statement that Bersih 4 was not a registered organisation.
Khalid said: “I am surprised there are many advising potential participants.
Some among them are lawyers who are advising the people that the rally is not illegal and in accordance with the country’s constitution.
“I think they are not very knowledgeable about the law. So, I ask them to come to the Police College to give them classes on law so that they can understand what is provided for under the Peaceful Assembly Act, what can and cannot be done.”
