The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) yesterday arrested an engineer who allegedly uploaded offensive and insulting comments about Prime Minister Najib Razak on the Facebook account of a news portal recently.
MCMC, in a statement on its Facebook account Wednesday, said the 26-year-old individual was picked up in an operation conducted by MCMC with the Commercial Crime Investigation Division of the Putrajaya Police headquarters.
A report had been lodged that the engineer made the comments in reaction to an article carried by the news portal on its Facebook account on March 25.
MCMC said a statement was recorded from the individual at its office in Cyberjaya on March 28.
It said that an Asus mobile telephone and a SIM card belonging to the individual had been seized.
MCMC said it would summon several other individuals soon to assist in the investigation.
