Batu PKR Youth today lodged a police report against a social media user over alleged defamatory comments against Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on Facebook.

The police report was lodged by branch chief Muhammad Sabda Suluh Lestari Yahya at the Sentul police headquarters today.

Sabda said PKR Youth hoped police would carry out a thorough investigation against the Facebook account user who had uploaded allegedly defamatory statements against the prime minister.

“We urge the police to take action against the account user because such statements can be detrimental to peace and harmony in the future,” he told the media after lodging the police report.

The Facebook account user who goes by the name of Din Den Oden uploaded at least two comments on Facebook that can be interpreted as questioning the powers of the Royal Pardon Board contained in the Federal Constitution.

Sabda said PKR Youth came across the comments on Sunday at about 12.30pm.

Meanwhile, Sentul police chief ACP Ahmad Sukarno Mohd Zahari confirmed with Bernama that a police report was lodged today.
