---

Perak police chief Noor Hisam Nordin says the activist and actress has yet to be called in to give her statement.
Rafidah Ibrahim had previously claimed in a short video posted on social media that Surau al-Karamah in Pasir Puteh would be demolished by a housing developer to make way for a road.PETALING JAYA: Police have received three reports against activist and actress Rafidah Ibrahim for allegedly attempting to incite public hatred towards the government over the issue of an old surau in Kampung Seri Keramat, Pasir Puteh, Hulu Kinta, Perak
Perak police chief Noor Hisam Nordin said the reports were lodged by several parties in Ipoh yesterday.
“Rafidah has not yet been called to give her statement,” Bernama reported him as saying in Ipoh.
Rafidah had previously claimed in a short video posted on social media that Surau al-Karamah in Pasir Puteh would be demolished by a housing developer to make way for a road.
She had criticised the demolition of the surau, calling it excessive, and urged the public to show up at the surau site on Oct 2 to support the protest.
Malay Mail reported Perak Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIPk) president Annuar Zaini as saying the issue had long been resolved.
He said the surau had been relocated to a new site about 250m from its original location, on land legally endowed under MAIPk.
Ipoh Timor PKR Youth chief Izzuddin Hariz also said attempts by certain individuals to revive the issue were irresponsible and aimed at fuelling public resentment against the government. - FMT
