PETALING JAYA: Sarawak police have acknowledged receiving a report concerning social media postings about education minister Fadhlina Sidek in which remarks about the use of the term “kafir” were taken out of context and distributed widely.

Sarawak police commissioner Mancha Ata confirmed that an investigation has been initiated, Bernama reported.

Yesterday, Fadhlina said misleading accusations and quotes taken out of context regarding the use of the term “kafir” had been circulated widely in the form of posters and videos.

She posted an image of a police report lodged by her political secretary, accusing a person and “the JKKK Fan Club” of circulating her image along with the statement: ‘Kafir pun saya haramkan di rumah. Saya tak ajar anak saya sebut kafir’ (‘I forbid infidels in my house. I don’t teach my children to use the word ‘infidel’), resulting in its viral spread.

Fadhlina said such actions could incite hatred and baseless accusations, and even pose a threat to her safety.

“Police reports have been lodged, as a safety precaution, on the advice of the legal team. All evidence from posts, comments, and private messages on various social media platforms is being collected, and legal action will be taken,” she said. - FMT
