Kajang police chief Naazron Yusof said police received a report from a 40-year-old woman who alerted them to the matter last Sunday.

“A thorough investigation is being conducted, including examining a two-minute viral video on TikTok discussing the issue,” he said in a statement today.

Naazron said the case is being investigated under Section 505(b) of the Penal Code, which carries a penalty of up to two years’ imprisonment, a fine, or both upon conviction.

It is also being probed under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (which regulates offensive content on the internet), that provides for a maximum fine of RM50,000, up to one year imprisonment, or both upon conviction.

He urged anyone with information on the matter to contact the nearest police station or investigating officer Ahmad Rahmat Adnan at 014-5156933 to assist in the investigation.
