A Form Five student here is being investigated under the Sedition Act after he was said to press the “Like” button of a “I Love Israel” page on Facebook, causing controversy in his school.
“The student has turned up to give his statement to the police at the South Seberang Prai and so did the teacher yesterday.
“Other students and teachers would also be called in to give their statements,” said Abdul Rahim at the South Seberang Prai district police headquarters Hari Raya open house last night.
The student, he said, is being investigated under Section 4 (1) (a) of the Sedition Act.
The student had reportedly lodged a police report at the Tasek Mutiara police station after he was said to have feared attending school following alleged threats from teachers and students for having liked the Facebook page.
Abdul Rahim said that the student claimed he had accidentally clicked “Like” on that page.
Following that, the teacher in the school was said to have expressed disappointment in the student followed by comments that the student should be burnt to death.
The student then went to lodge the police report, fearing for his safety and had also deactivated his Facebook account.
Seberang Prai South district police chief ACP Shafein Mamat said that investigations would continue today with more teachers and students from the school called in to give their statement.
“There will be two aspects to the investigation; the first is to investigate why the student had liked the page which had sparked argument and dissatisfaction and the second part is to investigate the threats he had received,” he added.
