KUALA LUMPUR – Social media content provider Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, also known as “Ratu Naga”, showed up at Bukit Aman to give her statement regarding an Instagram and Tik Tok post that was deemed to have defamed the prime minister’s wife, Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
The police summoned Perikatan Nasional’s Syarul Ema to provide a statement at Bukit Aman yesterday. She arrived with her attorney, Zaid Malek, at 12.45pm to give her statement to Bukit Aman’s classified crime investigation unit.
Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed that Syarul Ema was in Bukit Aman yesterday to give her statement.
“Her statement was recorded today… 33 questions were asked, but she did not answer. Police also seized her handphone and SIM card,” he said.
Razarudin said police did not obtain any information related to the case because the suspect failed to cooperate, and that is an offence under Section 249 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
On October 22, Bandar Tun Razak’s Parti Keadilan Rakyat lodged a police report against three social media users for allegedly uploading a post that was deemed defamatory against Dr Wan Azizah, who is also the Bandar Tun Razak MP. – October 31, 2023
