Student surrenders over FB posting that ‘insulted’ King


Wanted: Police are looking for a Thai woman known as Kak Yah to help in their investigation.

A 24-year-old man has turned himself in over a Facebook posting that insinuated that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong was involved in match fixing over the recent FA Cup final between Terengganu and Kelantan.

The private college student from Kota Baru surrendered at the district police headquarters here at about 8pm on Monday.

Terengganu police chief Senior Asst Comm Datuk Jamshah Mustapa said police seized a laptop belonging to the suspect, who has been remanded until tomorrow. The police are looking for a woman to help with investigations.







On June 13, a Terengganu football fan club official lodged a police report that Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin's face was cropped and replaced with a football and dollar signs to suggest that the King was involved in an alleged fixing of the match which his home state eventually won.

On another matter, SAC Jamshah said police were looking for a woman known as Kak Yah to help their investigation into the death of a 26-year-old man on June 16.

He said police believed that a woman bomoh, who was the main suspect in the case, might have fled with her husband to Rantau Panjang, Kelantan.

In a so-called cleansing ritual, the bomoh who is a Thai national, had allegedly shoved a water hose down the throat of Faizal Harun at Kampung Pulau Rusa, Merchang, near here.

Faizal died after the incident.
