Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) lodged a police report today against the owner of Facebook account for allegedly insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad.

Its vice-president Huan Cheng Guan said they wanted police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take stern action against the account owner.

"The account owner is irresponsible and obviously has insulted Islam and Prophet Muhammad in her comments today and many Muslims are angered by her actions," Huan told reporters after lodging the report at the Perai police station in Butterworth.

The account owner is alleged to have commented that Islam was a religion plagiarised from Christianity.

Huan also said the party had set up a special team, called Semut, in which more than 200 people around the country are involved, to monitor social media websites and blogs.
