‘Chicken bone' influencers freed on police bail
SEREMBAN: Three young friends who had been remanded on Tuesday to assist in investigations for giving rice with chicken bones to a homeless man have been released on police bail. Seremban OCPD Asst Comm Mohamad Hatta Che Din said the three aged 19,18 and 14 were brought here from Johor Baru on Tuesday to be remanded. "They have been released after their statements were recorded. "The three are from Johor Baru but the incident happened here," he said. ACP Mohamad Hatta said the three were being probed under Section 504 of the Penal Code, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955 and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988. In a video clip that went viral, the trio, believed to be influencers, were first seen eating at a fast food restaurant and then placing chicken bones in a pack of rice. They then hand it to a homeless man who was sleeping on the sidewalk. The man appeared shocked after opening the packet but responded with a simple gesture of thanks. Following backlash from netizens, the trio later issued an apology. They claimed the man had been informed about the filming beforehand and had consented to it. They also claimed that they had given him a full meal of chicken with rice earlier. On Tuesday (Aug 5), the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in a statement said it had questioned the three over the matter. It said the trio had their statements recorded at Iskandar Puteri police headquarters in Johor. The MCMC had also seized three mobile phones and SIM cards from the three. The commission described the video as "extremely offensive" and said the actions of the three youth had sparked criticism and touched on sensitive matters.
