China Press editor-in-chief and a sub-editor have recorded statements at Bukit Aman over an alleged mistranslation of the king’s address at the new parliamentary session opening.
Statements Recorded
Federal criminal investigation department director M Kumar said they arrived at 1pm today.
The case falls under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for statements sparking public alarm, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act for network misuse.
Probe Details
Investigation continues; Kumar urged the public to avoid speculation.
The deleted Facebook post’s Mandarin headline suggested the king said Malaysians not understanding Bahasa Melayu should leave.
It was fixed to reflect his words: those rejecting Bahasa Melayu as national language should go.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission probes China Press too.
