MCMC chairperson Mohamed Sharil Mohamed Tarmizi, in a statement on the commission’s Facebook page, said Tan’s posts were “irresponsible”.
“We have made a complaint to Facebook and have requested Facebook to immediately remove the page as we believe it is also against their terms and conditions of service.
“We remind the public to refrain from sharing sensitive content which may offend others,” read the statement.
Tan recently caught further controversy when he depicted doctored photographs of leaders, including Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and his wife Rosmah Mansor with pig snouts.
Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar was also depicted in the photographs.
This prompted the top cop to vow that the police would leave no stone unturned in locating Tan.
Tan, along with former girlfriend Vivian Lee, had been charged under the Sedition Act last year following a blog posting 'Selamat Berbuka Puasa with bak kut teh... fragrant, delicious and appetising'.Tan is purportedly seeking political asylum in the United States. Lee, however, has refused to follow in his footsteps.
"I don't see the point of living a life on the run. We still have a full life ahead of us and the life of a fugitive wouldn't suit me.
"I was brought up by my parents to deal with any issue in front of me and running away whenever there's trouble isn't a wise approach," she said in a Facebook post recently.
