Cops Seek Interpol Help To Nab Malaysian Over Racism In Vaccination Video
Bukit Aman says the man is wanted to assist in its investigation of a case of seditious, racist and insulting statements against the royalty and the government. (Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: The police are making a fresh application to Interpol for a red notice against a Malaysian in Germany who is wanted to assist in the investigation of a case of seditious, racist and insulting statements against the royal institutions and Malaysian government on social media.
Bukit Aman Criminal Investigations Department (CID) director Abd Jalil Hassan said the police was making the new application because its previous application to Interpol on Dec 22 last year was rejected.
According to Jalil, Interpol turned down the application on the grounds of Article 3 of its Constitution which stated that the organisation was strictly forbidden to undertake any intervention or activities of a political, military, religious or racial character in issuing a red notice to individuals wanted by a country’s authorities.
On June 26, media reported police were tracking down a 39-year-old Malaysian believed to be in Germany after he made a statement via a video entitled “Racist in Vaccine Malaysia” on his Facebook account that could threaten public order and national security.
The case is being investigated by Bukit Aman Classified Criminal Investigation Unit of the Prosecution/Law Division (D5).
Meanwhile, Jalil said the police is aiming for the country to be placed on Tier 1 or Tier 2 of the Trafficking in Persons (TiP) report released by the United States (US) state department on the efforts of combatting human trafficking and the smuggling of migrants.
He said the efforts to achieve the target would be carried out with agencies under the Council of Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Anti-Smuggling of Migrants (MAPO).
“We are (trying) to put our efforts on Tier 2 or Tier 1 with countries such as Singapore and the Philippines. We achieved Tier 2 in 2017, and we will ensure our best-integrated efforts with agencies under MAPO even though we remained on Tier 2 Watch List last year,” he said.
He said this when speaking to reporters after conducting a working visit to the CID’s D3 Division of the Anti-Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants (Atipsom) and the Anti-Vice, Gambling and Secret Societies Division (D7) at Menara KPJ here today.
Countries in the Tier 2 watch list are considered nations that do not fully meet the minimum standard in eliminating human trafficking.
Last June, the US state department placed Malaysia on Tier 2 Watch List in its report. - FMT
