Malaysian Politician Faces Police Investigation Over Caricature

A police report has been filed in Perak, Malaysia, against Woo Kah Leong, the chairman of DAP Perak Youth, for creating a caricature of Perak's opposition leader, Razman Zakaria. The caricature, which depicts Zakaria as a clown, has sparked controversy and led to an investigation. According to Syahredzan Johan, the lawyer representing Kah Leong, the police have recorded Kah Leong's statement and seized his phone and SIM card. Johan stated, "The overreaction to a simple caricature demonstrates a fear of free speech." The incident raises questions about freedom of expression and the use of police resources in political disputes. The case is expected to be closely followed as it unfolds.
