PADANG BESAR: The authorities have been urged to take stern action against a local social media influencer for organising a live TikTok session on Tuesday that allegedly insulted Islam.
The influencer from Sentul, Kuala Lumpur, is said to have invited a man wanted by the Malaysian police for insulting the king and the royal institution, who is now living in exile in Germany.
Angkatan Skuad Mubaligh Malaysia president Ustaz Muhammad Zamri Vinoth Kalimuthu said he lodged a police report against the female influencer after receiving information on the live TikTok session in the Tamil language that insulted Islam.
"As a Tamil-speaking person it is my responsibility to convey this matter to the authorities so that action can be taken," he said.
"How could a local TikToker invite a man wanted by the police and offer a platform to him to insult Islam?"
"She should be investigated," he said.
Zamri, who is also chief executive officer of One Centre Malaysia, a preaching agency under the Perlis Islamic and Malay Customary Council, lodged a police report at the Beseri police station at 5.21pm yesterday.
Padang Besar police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Shokri Abdullah confirmed that a report had been lodged.
