Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus has defended his social media post showing a police officer seemingly advising two protesters who were detained during the anti-Israel demonstration outside the United States embassy on Oct 2.

In the 51-second clip, which Fadil shared with the caption “Kita bersaudara” (we are brothers), the officer appeared to explain police procedures, caution the two men about their conduct at protests, and also expressed support for Palestine.
