KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 – Police have opened four investigation\u00a0papers relating to a recent issue involving the people of Rohingya in Malaysia,\u00a0including an offensive and intimidating Facebook live\u00a0video believed to be produced by a group of Rohingya men.<\/p>\n

Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department director Datuk Huzir Mohamed said police checks found that the video was recorded using the Facebook account of one\u00a0\u2018Villan Vicky\u2019, a Rohingya said to be residing in\u00a0Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the United States.<\/p>\n

“He used to live in Malaysia…the posting\u00a0(contains footage which) challenges\u00a0Malaysians using abusive language,” he said in a statement here today.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

He said investigations were also carried out on a viral video post that showed four individuals doing\u00a0firearms training, and that the suspects had also threatened to shoot any individual who trespassed on their place of residence.<\/p>\n

The investigation into the case involving ethnic Rohingyas was\u00a0carried out by the Classified Criminal Investigation Unit\u00a0(CCID) (Prosecution and Legal Division)\u00a0D5 after\u00a019 reports were received on the matter from Saturday (April 25) till\u00a0yesterday.<\/p>\n

Huzir said investigations into the\u00a0Facebook live video found it was of a conversation\u00a0between a group of three individuals\u00a0and another man, who\u00a0was questioning\u00a0the purpose of the group\u2019s\u00a0negative comments against the Malays.<\/p>\n

\n

“At the end of the Facebook live video, the group explained that their anger was not directed at\u00a0the Malays in Malaysia, but rather against Zafar Ahmad, the president of the\u00a0Myanmar Ethnic Rohingya Human Rights Organisation Malaysia\u00a0(MEHROM),” he said.<\/p>\n

“The Facebook Live video has sparked misunderstandings between the two parties, leading to threats, insults and abusive comments,” he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Huzir\u00a0urged the public to stop speculating on the matter, as\u00a0any statements or articles related to the matter shared or uploaded on social media could cause tension and disorder in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
