In the wake of Daish (IS) reportedly declaring war on Malaysia and Indonesia in released video clips, the Malaysian police have vowed to hunt down those who issue threats over social media to deliberately frighten the people.
Bukit Aman Special Branch director, Datuk Seri Mohamad Fuzi Harun, today said the police would not compromise in the case of anyone trying to spread the Daish ideology in the country.
"We will monitor all aspects, including YouTube video clips, a medium often used by this group to intimidate the people," he told Bernama.
Daish had reportedly declared war on Malaysia and Indonesia in released video clips where Daish militants had referred to the toppling of governments and leaders.
Mohamad Fuzi said the police would monitor every social media platforms available in the country.
He said though the Daish video clips could be a drama to intimidate the people in the country, the police took the matter seriously.
"The video clips are only a threat, and they (Daish militants) have never ceased intimidating Malaysians with threats of attacks and the like.
"They use the social media as a platform to threaten attacks against the country, and we must strengthen the laws to check these undesirable events," he said.
Mohamad Fuzi said the primary objective of the Daish militants was to carry out violent attacks to keep Malaysians in constant fear.
"This is the tactic employed by Daish to frighten the people, but this cannot be allowed in Malaysia," he said.
