(Kuala Lumpur, 1st) Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar pointed out that accusations of the government not taking action regarding the Quran stomping incident are baseless.
He posted on Facebook at midnight, stating that the authorities are conducting a comprehensive investigation in accordance with existing laws.
He emphasized that in a country that upholds the rule of law, all actions must follow legal procedures and not be influenced by emotional pressure or social media opinion.
"The country is governed by law, not by emotions and speculation."
Additionally, Anwar called on all parties to leave the matter entirely to the enforcement authorities and to refrain from making any comments or speculations that could affect social harmony.
Media reports earlier stated that a Universiti Malaysia Pahang Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA) student in Pahang was detained for allegedly stomping on the Quran and insulting Islam to assist with investigations.
On Friday, Pahang State Police Chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the police have completed the investigation report on the case.
Kuantan District Police Chief Ashari stated that the 21-year-old man's detention period expired on Saturday (February 28), but according to the Deputy Public Prosecutor's instructions, detention was extended until March 3 to complete the investigation.
