KUALA LUMPUR: The Lang Merah Fans Association (LMFA) have lodged two police reports yesterday following a video posting on a social networking site that insulted Kedah.
In the 38-second video, a man was seen in a Kedah jersey with the head of the team’s eagle mascot, walking into a bathroom and flushing the team’s logo down the toilet.
LMFA chairman, Wan Syazwan Wan Fadzelah said the action of the man refers to Kedah’s failure to play in the AFC Cup next season.
He said the police report was made to prevent the person from insulting the team on social media.
“I have lodged a police report at the Taming Jaya station. Apart from that, one more report was also lodged by LMFA affiliates in Penang,” said Wan Syazwan
“We understand that half of the Facebook pages were done with the intention to insult us. This is just too much. We can’t accept it.
“I hope further actions will be taken to prevent this from happening.
“I also hope the Malaysian Multimedia and Communications Commission (MCMC) will take the matter seriously.”
Wan Syazwan added that the the video, which has gone viral, was insulting to the state and also the team.
