KUALA LUMPUR, April 18 — A Muslim non-governmental organisation(NGO) has lodged a police report against former Perlis mufti Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin (picture) over an article posted on Malaysiakini.
It also filed a police report against Malaysiakini for posting the article entitled “Cabaran Gerakan Pembaharuan” (Challenges Confronting Reform Movement) on April 4.
The reports were filed by Negeri Sembilan Sofa Foundation deputy president Yusri Mohamad at the Dang Wangi police district headquarters here today.
Speaking to reporters, Yusri, who was accompanied by 50 representatives of several Muslim NGOs, claimed that the article violated the Sedition Act 1948 for allegedly insulting Islam and the institution of Malay rulers.

A Dang Wangi police spokesman confirmed receiving the report. Similar police reports against Asri and Malaysiakini were also lodged in other states, said Yusri. — Bernama
