Cops probing into video depicting Sabah, S'wak secession
The police have opened an investigation paper under the Sedition Act 1948 and Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 into a viral video of the Malaysian flag being taken down and replaced with the flags of Sabah and Sarawak.
Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain said preliminary investigations found that the incident happened in Melbourne, Australia, on Sept 16, supposedly as a symbol of the end of Malaysia’s “colonisation” of the two states in question and making them republics.
