KUALA LUMPUR, March 9 — The police have clarified that a fresh probe initiated against local graphic designer Fahmi Reza Mohd Zarin is centred on an online post he made last year that allegedly slandered the Health Ministry.

Putrajaya district police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Fadzil Ali confirmed with Malay Mail that investigations are in relation to a particular post which Fahmi made in October 2020, one containing a caricature of a figure resembling Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr Adham Baba.

The person in the picture is drawn with “Dr Adham” written on his name tag, with the illustration headlined with the word hilang, or missing in Malay.
