According to the head of the Criminal Investigation Agency of the Indonesian national police, Listyo Sigit Prabowo, as quoted by local media, the suspect was arrested at 8pm yesterday at a house, in Cianjur, West Java.

“Police arrested the male suspect, with the initials “MDF” and confiscated a mobile phone, a SIM card and a computer set,” he said.

So far, police had not revealed the suspect’s identity.

The arrest is the result of a joint investigation into the case involving the Indonesian police and their Malaysian counterparts.

The video, which was uploaded on YouTube, featured the Indonesian national anthem edited with lyrics that insulted Indonesia.

While it was deleted, the video was uploaded on social media, sparking hateful and angry comments.

Yesterday, Bernama quoted Inspector-General of Police Abdul Hamid Bador as saying the video was made by a citizen of the republic and not done in Malaysia.

He said the information was obtained as a result of an interrogation of an Indonesian worker in his 40s who was detained in Sabah.
