PETALING JAYA: Police have arrested a man believed to have published a Facebook post insulting the Indian community.
Kuala Lumpur police chief Fadil Marsus said the suspect, identified as Cikgu Chandra, was detained at about 3pm on Feb 11, and had his mobile phone seized for investigation.
“Upon investigation, the suspect admitted to posting the content out of dissatisfaction and to attract attention from his social media followers,” he said in a statement today.
