Don’t spread rumours via SMS, warns IGP
KUALA LUMPUR: Those spreading rumours via SMS on racial clashes can be detained under the Internal Security Act.
Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan, who issued the warning, said police were aware of unscrupulous persons spreading rumours via SMS to incite racial clashes.
He said there were such messages being circulated predicting racial clashes in Kampung Baru.
“We have our intelligence and we are prepared,” he said after attending a seminar on Neighbourhood Watch at the National Institute of Public Administration in Bukit Kiara Saturday.
On the Hindu Rights Action Force (Hindraf), Musa said more of its members had been arrested but he could not reveal the number yet.
He said the DAP had the right to go to court to seek the release of the Hindraf members being held under the ISA.
“It is their right and they can try to do it,” he added.
