BUKIT Aman is investigating Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh over a quote she claims she did not make.

Police are investigating the “Hannah Yeoh” Facebook page for allegedly publishing a seditious and inflammatory remark.

In response, Yeoh took to Twitter today to repost an image of the quote alongside the caption, “so police is now investigating me for a fake quote?”.

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Commissioner Huzir Mohamed had said earlier today the investigation began on March 11 under Section 4(1) of Sedition Act and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

These refer to acts of seditious tendencies and improper use of network facilities or network service.

The quote concerned in the investigation is as follows:

“Considering that the deputy minister of women and family development is from PAS, so marriage with minor (to permit sex with children) will spread after this. This is the disease of uncivilised Muslims in this country.”

It was reported yesterday that Yeoh has been asked to present herself at Bukit Aman for questioning over a social media post related to child marriages.

In the original tweet, Yeoh had expressed concern over the national roadmap to combat child marriages following the collapse of the Pakatan Harapan government. – June 17, 2020.
