The Commercial Crimes Investigation Department’s investigation officer for cyber crimes Supt Victor Sanjos said Abu Bakar was detained at 10pm at his home in Taman Koperasi Polis here to assist investigations under Section 4(1)(c) of the Sedition Act 1948.
“Abu Bakar in his blog had published an article which showed a modified logo of the Royal Malaysia Police with derogatory comments about Musa including claims that Musa was being controlled by Chinese crime syndicates,” Sanjos told Bernama here Thursday.[......]
Seditious or over-reaction? You think and you decide. I’m not wise enough. Everything seems up-side down.
