He said police obtained this information after questioning a suspect, an Indonesian labourer in his 40s, in Sabah.

“The suspect was arrested in Sabah on Monday and the Royal Malaysia Police have obtained new leads in our investigation.

“We obtained a new lead that the culprit originated from there (Indonesia), and we are questioning the suspect further to determine who edited the video,” he told Bernama in Bukit Aman.

Hamid said Malaysian police had shared this information with their Indonesian counterparts and the main suspect is expected to be known soon.

“This parody has sparked anger among Indonesians, and I can assure you that the Criminal Investigation Department has taken drastic action,” he added.

The video, uploaded in the comment section of the YouTube account My Asean two weeks ago, carried edited lyrics of Indonesia Raya which are insulting to Indonesia.

The video has since been removed from the YouTube comment section but it had been uploaded on various applications and widely shared on other social media platforms in Indonesia, drawing strong negative reactions from many people.
