Deputy Inspector-General of Police Mazlan Mansor said that the police were still investigating the matter.

“It’s very likely that he or she is using a fake Facebook account, most likely…otherwise, we should have known about it much earlier. This (act) was done in cyberspace, so it takes some time. We have to look at it from a technical point where the source is from. Regardless, the investigation is ongoing.”

Police have received over 400 reports over the posting.

Prior to this, a posting under a woman’s name, uploading a picture allegedly insulting Islam and Prophet Muhammad through a Facebook account, went viral on Facebook.

Mazland was here for a passing-out parade of the Police Undergraduate Volunteer Corps at Universiti Sains Malaysia.

He said, 1,167 trainees from 20 public universities had received their commissioning certificates.

He said that the syllabus for the volunteer corps would be reviewed to include new laws such as Sosma (Security Offences (Special Measures) Act 2012 and the Prevention of Crime Act 1959.
