The police and MCMC were urged to probe and act on a Facebook user for allegedly making remarks that insulted Prophet Muhammad on the platform.

National Unity Minister Aaron Ago Dagang warned that any statement or action touching the sensitivities of religions would result in firm action.

“I want to remind everyone that there is no place for any form of religious hatred or provocation in our country. The government will take stern action against anyone attempting to create division or tension between different races and religions,” he said in a Facebook post today.

Aaron said Malaysia is rich in religious and cultural diversity and therefore, everyone must respect and be mindful of religious sensitivities.

He said insulting any religion undermines national harmony and leads to serious consequences involving public peace and security.

“Every Malaysian citizen must understand, respect, and accept our diversity. Let us all live in an atmosphere of mutual respect and understanding to safeguard the peace and harmony of our beloved country,” he said.
