More than a month after he posted a fake photograph on his blog site, PKR information chief Tian Chua was called in for questioning by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

MCMC enforcement officer Mazlan Othman handled the questioning, held for over an hour at the headquarters in Cyberjaya. The investigation papers will be handed to the Attorney-General's Chambers.

"It was routine questioning. He asked how long I have operated the blog and who wrote the articles in it," said Chua when contacted.

"He did not reveal the nature of the complaint nor was he able to tell me which section of the law I have violated."

The photograph purportedly linked Deputy Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak to two main personalities in a murder trial - the victim, Mongolian national Altantuya Shaariibuu, and political analyst Abdul Razak Baginda who is accused of abetting in her death last October.

The MCMC's action is based on a report lodged early last month by Umno Youth deputy chief Khairy Jamaluddin.

This was on grounds that Chua has breached Section 211 and 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 which bars content considered "indecent, obscene, false, menacing, or offensive".

Under either section, offenders are liable to a maximum RM50,000 fine, jail term not exceeding a year, or both.

'No more answers'

Chua said he confirmed posting the photograph, but that he had declined to answer questions as to who the three figures represent or whether the picture is genuine.

"He asked me to describe those in the picture, but I said (it was up to) the readers to decide who they are. I didn't write any names in the caption.

"I am not obliged to answer those questions, whether the photo is a fake or how it might have been (doctored)."

Chua said he will not answer any more questions, saying the information can be obtained from his blog site as it has not been modified since the photograph was publicised.

"Whatever required is in my blog, I have not modified it. They will just have to determine (what they can) from reading my blog," he added.

Chua had previously said that he would not apologise for posting the photograph, which was based on a claim made in court during the murder trial.

Najib is close to Abdul Razak, 47, but has vehemently denied any involvement in the case. The other two accused are police officers attached to the special unit tasked with protecting top government leaders.
