KANGAR (Jan 2): Police have received a report regarding a Facebook post believed to contain defamatory elements and allegations against an individual linked to the Perlis royal institution. Arau district police chief Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi said the report was lodged on Thursday by a 39-year-old contractor after he came across the post on social media while at a restaurant in Arau at about 8.30pm on Wednesday. “Statements recorded revealed that the man had never previously seen such a post, although he had heard rumours related to the alleged slander and had ignored them until he personally read the post. Ahmad Mohsin said the contractor believed the post was directed at the Perlis royal institution and had requested police to investigate and act against the account owner for attempting to embarrass, undermine and shame the institution. “Checks through the integrated police reporting system (iPRS) found that there were two police reports, including one lodged in Kangar, which has been classified as referring to the original report made in Arau,” he said.
