KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 26 — Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar today ordered the arrest of a social media user who allegedly issued a seditious comment on Facebook against Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

Khalid tweeted the order to the Police Cyber Investigation Response Centre (PCRIC) along with a screen capture of the offensive post by Faisal Rohban, who listed several high-profile deaths here and linked it to Najib and his wife.

“PCIRC @PDRMsia, kesan dan tahan penama dibawah ini kerana menghasut,” the IGP tweeted along with the screen capture.

[Translation: PCIRC @PDRMsia, track and arrest this individual for committing sedition]

Faisal has since issued an apology on the social networking site and has agreed to cooperate with the police despite currently being in a recovery ward after having heart treatment.
