PETALING JAYA: The arrest of two secondary school students for"ridiculing the SPM history paper" in a viral video is an excessive and arbitrary use of police powers, says Lawyers for Liberty .
On Feb 25, Hulu Selangor OCPD Supt Suffian Abdullah said that two male teenagers were arrested to assist in investigations into a viral video featuring high school students who harshly criticised the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia history exam paper, following a report filed by a teacher."And all this over a video where they vented their frustrations on their SPM history paper.
"Members of the government should be well aware of how disproportionately wide Section 233 is in criminalising speech online.
Teenagers also aren't allowed to criticise this govt? So much for freedom of speech that ph has been touting about.
