Anti-gov't blogger's parents quizzed by MCMC
- 9 years ago
The elderly parents of a popular anti-government blogger were hauled up by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) today to assist in investigations into their son's blog posting in March.
The parents of Mohd Nur Hanief Abdul Jalil, 27, who operates "Asia, Malaysia, Tech & World Blog", were grilled on their son's allegations of sexual misconduct of a member of the royalty and on a doctored picture showing former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad sitting next to model Kavita Kaur.
Clearly fazed, 61-year-old Abdul Jalil Ashaari said that he was "saddened" by the way others on the blogsphere were attacking his son.
After being questioned for more than two hours by the MCMC at its Kuala Lumpur headquarters, Jalil told reporters that the questions put to him were "absurd".
