No reports have been lodged against Umno Youth chief Dr Muhamad Akmal Saleh over his Facebook post that showed him wielding a traditional Japanese sword, according to Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.
Free Malaysia Today reported that Razarudin was responding to Senator Ti Lian Ker’s question raised in the Dewan Negara yesterday on why there had been no investigation carried out against Akmal for his allegedly seditious post.
Razarudin reportedly said that police will only initiate an investigation if a report has been lodged.
Akmal’s post dated March 14, one day after the discovery of socks bearing the word “Allah” being sold at a KK Mart outlet, was captioned: “No matter what, we will not waver from our stance. Better to die standing than live kneeling.”
At that time, the Umno Youth chief called for the implementation of a single-stream education system, sparking heated debates over vernacular schools.
Akmal’s first comment on the KK Mart issue came a day after on March 15, when he expressed dissatisfaction with the convenience store chain’s apology.
It was in this same post that he also called for a boycott against KK Mart
Critics claimed that the Umno Youth chief’s unrelenting boycott call since the issue started had indirectly led to three firebombing attempts at KK Mart outlets.
In the Dewan Negara, Ti also contrasted police inaction against Akmal with a probe against DAP veteran Lim Kit Siang last year, linked to the latter’s speech to Malaysian students in Manchester that touched on the possibility of a non-Malay person becoming the Malaysian prime minister. - Mkini
