Kuala lumpur: Police arrested an MP’s former personal assistant for uploading a video of the MP without authorisation and knowledge to his Facebook account.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Ampang Jaya district police chief ACP Mohd Azam Ismail stated that the 43-year-old man was apprehended at 11.30 am on Friday in Pasir Mas, Kelantan. The arrest followed the MP’s discovery of the video post on a Facebook account named ‘Mohd Syahrizal’ on July 30.

‘The post resulted in negative comments by other Facebook users, stressing the individual and affecting their reputation and psychological state. This situation caused the MP to feel threatened and afraid, fearing potential repercussions due to the Facebook account holder’s actions.

‘A Samsung and a Vivo mobile phone belonging to the suspect were seized to facilitate investigations,’ he said in a statement today. The suspect has been remanded for four days from Aug 9 till tomorrow.

The case is being investigated under Section 507 of the Penal Code, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
