MCMC said the man had his statement recorded at the Kampung Melayu Subang police station on July 21. His mobile phone and SIM card were seized to assist in the investigation.

The case is being investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities, punishable by a maximum RM500,000 fine, up to two years in jail, or both, upon conviction.

In a statement, MCMC reminded the public to avoid sharing content that is offensive, seditious or defamatory, particularly those involving the royal institution, as it could threaten public order and national harmony.

Last Friday, it said it was investigating another person for allegedly uploading offensive remarks about the judiciary.

Justice Wan Ahmad Farid Wan Salleh was named the new chief justice last week, and is expected to take over the post on a permanent basis beginning July 28.

Justice Abu Bakar Jais was appointed Court of Appeal president, while Justice Azizah Nawawi was made chief judge of Sabah and Sarawak. Both are expected to take their oaths of office next week.
