PETALING JAYA: The Islamic development department (Jakim) has lodged a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) over an offensive comment posted on a Facebook page during the state funeral of former prime minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi yesterday.
Bernama reported Jakim director-general Sirajuddin Suhaimee saying the report was filed to enable the authorities to carry out an investigation and take appropriate action.
“The government, through Jakim, views seriously the action of the person who posted the irresponsible comment on Astro Awani&#8217;s Facebook page dated April 15, 2025.
“The comment clearly ridiculed and demeaned Islamic teachings, particularly at a time of mourning and reverence for the passing of a statesman who had contributed greatly to the nation. Such conduct is highly irresponsible and shows a lack of respect for the feelings of the Muslim community, especially the family of the deceased,” he said in a statement.
Sirajuddin said such insulting remarks could cause disharmony among Muslims and have the potential to incite inter-religious and interracial tension.
He urged all parties to refrain from posting or commenting in ways that could provoke anger and disrupt harmony in the country&#8217;s multiracial society.
