Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

PUTRAJAYA: The reason why the two books were taken from a shop in Wisma Central, Kuala Lumpur last week was for the purpose of research and to review the contents, says Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.

The Home Minister said the action was taken following complaints from the public who claimed the contents of the books titled Sang Pendidik Revolusioner and Koleksi Puisi Masturbasi could threaten public order.
