The screenshot of a racist comment from Facebook account owner Nazrul Nazari, which went viral on social media yesterday, is an old comment which had been spread again, said police secretary Noorsiah Mohd Saaduddin.
She said a 33-year-old man had been arrested and charged under Section 182 of the Penal Code and Section 33 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, on April 1 for making the comment.
The police detected the comment went viral again on various social media, including Facebook and Whatsapp yesterday, she said in a statement today.
Noorsiah advised the public not to re-viral such comments in a provocative manner because it could threaten public order and racial harmony.
“Strict action will be taken against any individual who deliberately causes public mischief through issues that touch on religious and racial sensitivities,” she added.
