DAP's Seputeh MP Teresa Kok has lodged a police report over a fake quote attributed to her on social media in relation to the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines' (MAS) flight MH370.

 

In her police report, Kok said she was falsely attributed a quote which blamed Muslim terrorists for the loss of the Boeing 777-200.

 

The quote read: "Who can deny it if I were to say the incident of the missing MH370 was perpetrated by Muslims terrorists - YB Teresa Kok, Seputeh MP".

 

"According to investigation by my colleagues, the post is suspected to have started from the Facebook page of "Kami sokong DAP diharamkan seumur hidup" (We support DAP to be outlawed forever).

 

"It was later circulated in other places," said Kok who lodged a police report at the Petaling police station this afternoon.

 

Kok said she has not made any statements about the MH370 incident since it was first reported in the media.

 

"The posting contained a false statement that has tarnished my image as a member of Parliament and caused me to be criticised.

 

"I hope the police will investigate this matter seriously," she said.

 

Flight MH370 which was bound for Beijing disappeared from radar at 1.30am yesterday after taking off from Kuala Lumpur.

 

At writing time, at least 22 aircrafts and 40 ships have been mobilised to locate the Boeing 777-200 but nothing has been found yet.
