KUALA LUMPUR, March 21 ― Police will probe the contents of the BFM video on hudud if public complaints are received, Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar has said.

Khalid reportedly noted, however, that the police’s preliminary findings found that the video’s contents have not reached the level of being seditious and was more of an individual’s personal opinion regarding the implementation of the strict Islamic penal code in Kelantan.

“But if there are police reports lodged, we accept and will investigate the content of the video,” he told local daily Utusan Malaysia yesterday.

After the video was uploaded on BFM’s website and Youtube channel on Thursday, the business radio station’s Aisyah Tajuddin received death and rape threats on various online platforms.

Internet users also urged authorities to take action against Aisyah, accusing her of insulting Islam in the video titled “Hudud Isi Periuk Nasi? [Kupas]” (Does hudud fill our rice bowls?).

In the video, she points out that even as Kelantan is attempting to implement hudud, the east coast state is facing other problems like its homeless flood victims, as well as increasing drug and divorce cases.

BFM later removed the video and apologised for any offence caused.

Earlier today, DAP adviser Lim Kit Siang questioned Khalid’s silence on microblogging site Twitter so far regarding the threats against Aisyah, noting that the IGP usually responds swiftly when ordering probes on opposition leaders and activists.

Yesterday, Aisyah's father Professor Dr Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi penned a letter published by The Malaysian Insider asking if Malaysia was no longer a safe place to live in if simply expressing opposing views attracted such dangers as rape and even death.

Kelantan, administered by Islamist party PAS, passed amendments to the Shariah Criminal Code II 1993 on Thursday in a bid to enforce hudud law in the state ― despite fierce opposition from its PR allies, the DAP and PKR.

PAS is expected to table private members’ bills in Parliament to remove legal roadblocks in the implementation of the Islamic penal code that punishes apostasy with the death penalty and theft with amputation of limbs.
