Police confirmed the suspect was detained for allegedly uploading a post containing the phrase "Pingat Jasa Khianat" – translated as “Medal of Service Betrayal”. The post is believed to insult the royal family and is a violation of laws protecting the monarchy. Authorities have not yet detailed the specific platform where the post was made or the full content of the message. Investigations are ongoing, and the suspect is expected to be formally charged. Royal defamation is a sensitive issue in Malaysia, carrying potentially severe penalties under existing legislation. This arrest highlights the enforcement of those laws in the state of Perlis.
