ARAU: Police have received a report regarding a voice recording allegedly resembling a political leader in the state, believed to contain defamatory, deceptive, and insulting statements against the Raja of Perlis, Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin Jamalullail, and the Raja Perempuan Perlis, Tuanku Tengku Fauziah Almarhum Tengku Abdul Rashid.
Arau police chief Supt Ahmad Mohsin Md Rodi said that Arau Umno Youth secretary Hazalan Haron lodged the report at about 5.30pm on Friday (Oct 17) after watching a video featuring the voice recording.
"The recording was disseminated openly across several social media platforms and contains untrue information which could affect the dignity and reputation of the Perlis Royal Institution," he said in a statement Friday night.
He confirmed that investigations are ongoing.
Meanwhile, Perlis Umno Youth secretary Ahmad Nazrin Abdul Aziz, who is also acting Arau Umno Youth Chief, emphasised that the police report was not politically motivated but made out of moral responsibility and in the spirit of defending the Constitutional Monarchy system.
He stressed that the integrity and dignity of the Royal Institution must always be preserved for the well-being of the people and the stability of the state.
He also urged all parties, especially state leaders and civil servants, to exercise caution when issuing statements related to the Royal Institution. – Bernama
