KUALA LUMPUR, March 12 — The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) has received 894 reports regarding the controversial statement by independent preacher Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu, who allegedly insulted Hinduism recently.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain said the police had recorded Zamri's statement, and the investigation paper was still under review by the Attorney-General's Chambers (AGC).
"So far, there has been no further instruction from the AGC regarding this case," he said when contacted by Bernama today.
Commenting on the case involving three ERA FM radio hosts who seemed to make fun of other religious ceremonies, Razarudin said they have not received any further instructions from the AGC.
As of March, PDRM has opened 31 investigation papers on issues related to religion, race, and royalty (3R).
"There are 17 cases related to the Royal Institution, two cases of racism and 12 cases of religion, bringing the total to 31 cases, and so far, no charges have been decided by the AGC," he said.
Razarudin also advised the public not to get involved in issues related to the 3Rs that could threaten national peace, public order, people's well-being, political stability, economic stability, and inter-racial harmony in the country.
He added that the 3R issue is a new war strategy that can destroy the country with only the tip of a finger.
The public should be more mature and not overly emotional, filter all information, news, or videos shared on social media, and not be easily influenced by unauthentic information.
"Avoid writing statuses, comments, tweets, photo posts, posters, or videos that are made without understanding socio-cultural factors and racial sensitivities, resulting in displeasure, insult, or discord,” Razarudin said.
The 3R concept of Research, Responsibility, and Report should be the core and should always be inculcated before sharing any information on social media. Mutual respect and love for peace should also be pinned.
He said the public should also be wary of being easily influenced by the agendas of certain parties that have personal agendas and interests.
