Schoolboy probed for 'liking' pro-Israel page


A Form Five student, who caused controversy at his school by clicking 'Like' on a pro-Israel Facebook page, is being investigated for sedition.

This, despite the 17-year-old denying clicking ‘Like’ on that page and lodging a police report, fearing his safety.

Penang police chief Abdul Rahim Hanafi(left) said that he is investigated under Section 4(1)(a) of the Sedition Act 1948, Utusan Online reported.

The police have taken the statements of the students and a teacher from the Simpang Ampat, Penang school, at the Seberang Perai police district headquarters yesterday.

Several others involved will soon be called to assist with the investigations.

According to The Star the teen was attacked and threatened online by teachers and students of the school after a screenshot showing he liked the pro-Israel page was uploaded on Facebook by a teacher.

Among others, one teacher had allegedly wrote: “Kita bakor je hahaha.” (Let’s just burn him hahaha)

MCA: Take action against teachers

Meanwhile, MCA Youth chief Chong Sin Woon (right) has called for swift punishment for the teachers who had threatened the boy.

He warned that by if such threats could escalate to violence if they are allowed to go on unchecked.

“These teachers have set a wrong example, and I am afraid that without severe punishment, others might actually try to burn the student,” said Chong in a statement.

The anti-Israel movement in Malaysia has reached fever pitch as the Gaza conflict death toll reaches close to 2,000, mostly on the Palestine side.

Business accused of Israel links in Malaysia have faced boycottswhile their staff have faced violent threats.
