DAP assemblyperson Ronnie Liu has come under the crosshairs of the police following a Facebook post on the protest in Thailand with regard to King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
In a statement this morning, federal CID director Huzir Mohamed said Liu's post might contain seditious elements against the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.
He cited Liu's caption in the post which included several photographs of the protest. The caption reads, "Now in Bangkok. They are saying no to the king."
It also has Chinese text which reads: "Current situation in Bangkok".
Huzir said the police are probing the Sungai Pelek assemblyperson under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948 for allegedly causing hate or insult to any ruler or the government.
Liu would also be investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities.
A screenshot of the posting had been making the rounds with calls to reject DAP. One netizen had questioned if Liu was instigating Malaysians to question the rulers as well.
Meanwhile, Liu told Malaysiakini that the posting was made two weeks ago.
The assemblyperson said he would be going to the Petaling Jaya District police headquarters at 10.30am tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Huzir said the police are also investigating three other social media users for making similar remarks against the Agong. - Mkini
