Wan Ji being investigated over alleged insult to ‘Tunku’

Police say they traced the Penang chief minister’s information officer following reports lodged against him, and made the arrest after he had delivered a Friday sermon at a mosque.

KUALA LUMPUR: Police have confirmed that Wan Ji Wan Hussin, the Penang chief minister’s new information officer, was arrested today in relation to a video of him allegedly insulting a “Tunku”.

Inspector-General of Police Fuzi Harun said he was placed under investigation under Section 4(1) of the Sedition Act 1948.

“We have taken action after having received reports on him many days ago. We traced him today and caught him,” Fuzi told reporters at the Police Training Centre (Pulapol) here today.

FMT has yet to confirm the identity of the person referred to as “Tunku”, which is a hereditary title for a member of the royalty.

Wan Ji, 35, a popular Muslim preacher and PKR youth executive councillor in charge of religion, had taken his oath of office to assume duties under Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng on September 28.

According to Saifuddin Nasution Ismail, the strategic adviser to the chief minister, he was arrested moments after he gave a Friday sermon at Masjid Jalan Sembilang, Seberang Jaya, in Penang this afternoon.

He was then taken to Seberang Perai Tengah district police headquarters.

His arrest came just days after Malaysian Islamic Development Department (Jakim) officer Zamihan Mat Zin, who had also been arrested under the Sedition Act, posted a picture of Wan Ji on social media with the words “Wan Ji mahu sistem raja dihapuskan” .
