PETALING JAYA: The police have received no reports on Umno Youth chief Dr Akmal Saleh’s Facebook post of a photo of himself wielding a sword, says Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain.
He was responding to Senator Ti Lian Ker’s inquiry on why the Merlimau assemblyman had yet to be investigated for sedition.
Razarudin told FMT that according to standard procedure, the police will only initiate an investigation if a report is lodged.
On March 14, Akmal uploaded a photo of himself wielding a sword on a recent trip to Japan with the caption: “No matter what, we will not waver from our stance. Better to die standing than live kneeling.”
