PETALING JAYA: Perkasa has denied that the person who condemned Kelantan Sultan Muhammad Faris Petra on Facebook as an “unlawful” ruler was a member of the movement.
Following this, 15 Perkasa members, led by Youth chief Arman Azhar Abu Hanifah, lodged a report with the Damansara police station this afternoon.
In the posting, the person, who identified himself as Muha Tajul Ariffin, claimed that he was a Perkasa member on Facebook's Pria Malaya fan page.
The posting read: “All who oppose Perkasa also oppose the fight for the special rights of Malays in Malaysia. It doesn't matter whether they are Malay, Chinese, Indian or any other race... including the unlawful Sultan of Kelantan.”
Meanwhile, Arman said he was informed of the incident last Thursday.
“When I checked Muha's Facebook account, I realised that it was only been registered last month. I sent him a few messages but he didn't reply any of them.
“We also ran his name through our member database and found nothing on him. Muha is definitely not a Perkasa member,” he said.
“We then had to act swiftly before news of this spread. We do not want such people insulting the dignity of our rulers,” he added.
'We bear no grudge against the ruler'
Arman said the police had advised him to approach the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) directly as online content fell under its jurisdiction.
“I have already contacted the person in charge and expect to be called in to file another report at the MCMC next week,” he added.
Two weeks ago, the Sultan of Kelantan stripped Perkasa president Ibrahim Ali of his datukship.
No reason was given for this revocation but Arman insisted that neither Ibrahim nor Perkasa bore any ill will towards the Sultan over the matter.
“We are not angry at all,” he emphasised. “We respect the sultan's decision and we will not question it. And we will continue to protect the institution.”
Sultan Muhammad Faris ascended the throne following a dramatic power struggle with his brother that rocked the Kelantan royal household.
