'Ratu Naga' failed to cooperate with police, says IGP

KUALA LUMPUR: Content creator Syarul Ema Rena Abu Samah, also known as 'Ratu Naga', was at Bukit Aman to give her statement after being summoned over a social media post that was deemed to have defamed the Prime Minister's wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

Perikatan Nasional's Syarul Ema arrived with her lawyer Zaid Malek at 12.45pm to give her statement to Bukit Aman's classified crime investigation unit.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Razarudin Husain confirmed that Syarul Ema was in Bukit Aman on Monday to give her statement.

"Her statement was recorded today…33 questions were asked but she did not answer. Police also seized her handphone and sim card," he told Bernama when contacted.

Razarudin said police did not obtain any information related to the case because the suspect failed to cooperate and that is an offence under Section 249 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

On Oct 22, Bandar Tun Razak's Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) lodged a police report against three social media users for allegedly uploading a post that was deemed defamatory against Dr Wan Azizah who is also the Bandar Tun Razak Member of Parliament. --BERNAMA
