(Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA : A former aide to an MP has been arrested in Pasir Mas, Kelantan, for alleged criminal intimidation. Ampang Jaya police chief Azam Ismail said the MP filed a police report on July 30 after the suspect uploaded a video on his Facebook account 'Mohd Syahrizal', purportedly without the complainant's knowledge or permission. Azam said the suspect, 43, had explicitly mentioned the MP's name in his posting which was allegedly malicious in nature. The MP claimed this had exposed him to harm and threats. 'The posting drew various negative comments from Facebook users, causing stress and harming the complainant's reputation and mental and psychological well-being. The complainant felt threatened and fearful because of the actions of the owner of the Facebook account. 'The suspect used to serve as a personal assistant to the complainant,' Azam said in a statement. The suspect was arrested in Pasir Mas at around 11.30am on Friday. Police also confiscated two handphones. Checks found that the man had a criminal record but was not wanted. The suspect, now a businessman, has been remanded until tomorrow. The case is being probed for criminal intimidation by anonymous communication, insulting behaviour and the improper use of network facilities, under Section 507 of the Penal Code, Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.
