SHAH ALAM: Police have confirmed that they have received a report from a sports commentator at a private television station regarding threats he received from an individual on social media.
Shah Alam district police chief Mohd Iqbal Ibrahim said the report was made early yesterday and is believed to be related to the man’s comment on the poor form of badminton star Lee Zii Jia.
He said the commentator received the threats on Instagram on Aug 27.
“Based on our preliminary investigation, the commentator touched on the poor form of national badminton player Lee Zii Jia on the programme ‘Nindia Pak Long’, and suspects that this may have caused dissatisfaction among certain parties,” he said in a statement last night.
