KUANTAN: The remand order against a higher education institution (IPT) student suspected of uploading content touching on issues related to religion, race and royal institutions (3R) on social media has been extended for another three days. "The police also seized a copy of the Quran believed to have been used by the student,” he said when contacted. On Friday (Feb 27), Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the investigation paper has been completed and referred to the DPP for further action. On Feb 25, a Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) student was detained to assist in investigations for allegedly insulting Islam on social media. Prior to that, an image showing an adult male’s foot stepping on the Quran, along with a screenshot of a social media post allegedly by the UMPSA student, had gone viral online.
