Inspector-General of Police Mohamad Fuzi Harun said police would conduct an investigation on the video released by Azri, in which he tried to incite the public over racial issues.

“If we allow such things to go on, it will cause other security-related issues,” he told reporters today.

The Facebook page under the name “Sir Azri” featured a live video recorded on Wednesday on the topic “Ini Tanah Melayu” (This is the land of the Malays).

Fuzi said police would not hesitate to take action against any individual who used social media to create tension among the people.

He said police would also open an inquiry into a police report filed by Perak Pakatan Harapan (PH) secretariat chief V Sivakumar, on alleged attempts to overthrow Menteri Besar Ahmad Faizal Azumu.

“We are aware of this and will take the necessary measures to ensure that this situation does not affect security, especially in Perak,” he said.

On Wednesday, Sivakumar lodged the police report at the Dang Wangi police station.

This followed Perak DAP chairman Nga Kor Ming’s claim on Tuesday that there was a conspiracy to topple Ahmad Faizal, based on an expose by state exco Asmuni Awi who said Perak Umno leaders had offered him the post of menteri besar, besides inviting him to leave PH to form a new state government.
