Selangor police chief Arjunaidi Mohamed said they discovered that the video was from a press conference at the Selangor police contingent headquarters on July 30 last year following the arrest of sellers and buyers of modified guns and Airsoft pistols while the pictures of the weapon seizure were from a Kedah police press conference in 2014.

The act of linking the video clip of the Selangor police press conference with photos of the Kedah firearms seizure and then claiming that the seizure was related to communist terrorists and the LTTE is unfounded and can cause fear and disruption to public order, he said in a statement posted on the Selangor police Facebook page yesterday.

Arjunaidi added that police would investigate the case under Section 505 (b) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

He also advised the public not to draw their own conclusions regarding any issues that are viralled by irresponsible parties and not to share or spread unverified news.
