KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysia Police are in discussions with the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) to identify the most effective mechanisms to address issues related to race, religion and the royal institution (3R), which are on the rise on social media. Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail said the open nature of social media platforms resulted in certain parties making comments freely that at times went beyond the boundaries of the country’s laws. These are among the matters we frequently discuss with the Attorney General on how best to address them. "Depending on the investigating unit, we may need additional witnesses for further action,” Mohd Khalid said. The investigation is being carried out by the Bukit Aman Classified Criminal Investigation Unit under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.- Bernama
