Sex blogger insults Malaysian leaders in another Facebook post
Elizabeth Zachariah, The Malaysian Insider
Sex blogger Alvin Tan has landed himself in hot soup again following yet another sedition probe against him for postings on his Facebook page where he had also superimposed pig snouts on the faces of several Malaysian leaders, including the prime minister.
Astro Awani reported that police have launched an investigation against Tan, who has skipped his bail and fled to the United States to seek asylum.
Tan had previously been charged along with his former partner Vivian Lee under the same Act for an offensive and controversial Ramadan greeting the couple had put up on Facebook in July last year.
“Members of the public have lodged reports against Alvin Tan. Upon this, we initiated an investigation under the Sedition Act,” deputy federal CID chief Datuk Amar Singh was quoted as saying.
In a Facebook posting on September 26, Tan had slammed Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, calling the latter a “coward” for the recent sedition dragnet which he called an effort to “cling on to the top post”.
He had also superimposed pig snouts on the images of Najib, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Amhamd Zahid Hamidi, Attorney-General Tan Sri Abdul Gani Patail and Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.
