The teacher who was arrested for allegedly insulting security forces over the Sulu terrorist intrusion in Lahad Datu through his Facebook had been released on police bail.

Pasir Puteh district police chief DSP Mohd Kamal Zainal said the man was released as his remand period had expired.

The 37-year-old teacher of a school in Tok Bali, Pasir Puteh, was arrested at about 7pm last Thursday for allegedly referring to members of the security forces as dogs and claiming that they had died in vain.
