The police have identified several people who could be responsible for a blog allegedly containing insults against the Prophet Muhammad.
Deputy Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar, however, did not disclose details of the suspects and merely said that investigations were still ongoing.
“We have a special team under the commercial crime director which is investigating the matter.
“And we are working closely with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission,” Ismail told reporters at the Northern Brigade General Operations Force in Ulu Kinta on Tuesday.
He further revealed that police also found out that the server used was located outside the country.
“It is quite a daunting task for us,” he added.
Ismail had earlier presented berets to 31 officers of the Special Action Squad and 17 VAT 69 commandos who successfully completed their training.
Pahang police, meanwhile, received a report on the existence of the blog.
State Criminal Investigation Department deputy chief Supt Mohd Haris Daud said the report was lodged on Saturday by Maran Umno Youth vice head Hairul Amin Othman at the Maran police headquarters.
“We will investigate the matter,” he told reporters.
He said the investigation would be carried out under the Sedition Act.
