KUALA LUMPUR: A special unit has been set up to monitor postings on the Internet that can cause disunity and racial tension among the people, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein. He said the unit would gather the expertise of the ministry's enforcement unit, police, Attorney-General's Chambers and the judiciary to look into such cases.
"We understand this new landscape and the special unit is already in place to monitor such activities,” he said Thursday.
Hishammuddin was asked to comment on a Facebook page that insulted Malay sensitivities.
The Selangor Federation of Peninsular Malay Students, Gagasan Pendidikan Melayu Malaysia and Perkasa lodged a police report against the page at the Dang Wangi police station here Wednesday.
On another matter, Hishammuddin said his ministry never took sides when handling incidents involving mosques and churches.
He said although some people had the perception that the Government had acted slowly, it did not mean it was "proscrastinating."
"For some cases, it takes longer for us to do the investigation. People need to understand that certain cases need more time to be solved.
"However, for the incident where paint was splashed at a surau, we managed to arrest the perpetrators within just one day and charge them," he said told reporters after visiting the Narcotics Rehabilitation Centre (Puspen) here Thursday.
He said although the ministry handled these cases impartially, certain parties turned them into issues to create hatred and disunity among the people.
When i read this news early in the morning yesterday, I feel really upset about blogs being monitored and the taking action thingy. I completely agree if actions are taken against those who post racial remarks, launching personal attacks against religion and etc but taking actions on pety things such a making funny videos or something is really extra-ordinary. When i think, reflect and summarize all this. The picture below tells what i feel.
