The report was lodged at the Putrajaya police station this morning.

Bersatu’s Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard, had a few days ago questioned the ministry’s decision to use a picture of what he claimed was a church as the backdrop for the town hall banner.

“Is this because all this while, the backdrop for government programmes have used the image of a mosque and now they want to use a picture of a church to show that all religions are equal?

“This is a push for pluralism and liberalism,” he wrote in a Facebook post.

In the police report, a ministry representative said the graphic designer had relied on Canva, a software that provides the tools to create graphics for social media posts and presentations, among others.

A ministry source told FMT that the designer had chosen the backdrop after using the software to search for town hall-related images.

“The graphic designer did not choose a picture of a church. That, I can confirm. The designer searched for ‘town hall’,” the source, who asked to remain anonymous, added.
