Police will suggest the Attorney-General's Chambers serve Lokman Noor Adam (above) with a court bond to prevent him from issuing statements on social media which could rile the country's harmony.
This was told by the Bukit Aman criminal investigation department chief Huzir Mohamed following Lokman's statement on Oct 27 which reads: Bersiap Sedia Untuk Peperangan Paling Dahsyat (Be ready for war).
The Umno supreme council member had accused Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad of attempting to use his power to stop PKR president Anwar Ibrahim from becoming the prime minister.
"We confirmed that the Facebook account which posted the statement belongs to Lokman Adam.
"Checks showed that there are seven investigation papers on him by the Bukit Aman Classified Criminal Investigation Unit, while 10 more investigation papers have been opened by various police contingents.
"He has produced a lot of statements which are provocative in nature and stir racial discord," Huzir told the media at Bukit Aman today.
This month, Lokman was charged at the Shah Alam Magistrate's Court with inciting or being likely to incite the public to commit an offence against another community, where he pleaded not guilty.
"First, we can suggest for the court to impose extra conditions on his bail for his ongoing case.
"If the court agrees, he has to show himself at the police station every month.
"Second, to ensure peace in the country, the court can serve him with a bond for a certain period," said Huzir.
Lokman is known to defend former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak in his protests against the Pakatan Harapan government, and actively issues statements via social media.
In March, he and four others were charged over a fracas with Universiti Malaya students and journalists.
In June, Lokman was arrested by the police for obstructing public officials from discharging their duties and using abusive language against the police when they search his house in Kajang Hillpark.
He had earlier issued statements on the sex video which implicated Economic Affairs Minister Mohamed Azmin Ali.
On a separate matter, Huzir said police are investigating a Facebook user known as Maran Muniandy for uploading a provocative post regarding the Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012.
"We have identified him and will take the necessary action," Huzir said.
