Arrests in Perak and Penang

The 25-year-old suspect was detained in Tanjung Rambutan, Perak, while the 35-year-old was apprehended in Butterworth, Penang. These detentions occurred following police reports lodged in Kluang, Johor, concerning social media users making jokes about the Jawi Day declaration.

These legal frameworks are being applied to address the online content that reportedly made light of the government's initiative.
