KOTA KINABALU: At least five police reports have been lodged by Parti Solidariti Tanah Airku (STAR) against a Facebook user who uploaded an image accusing STAR leaders of supporting Israel.
The image was uploaded by a user, believed to be a fake account, under the name Danny Lukas Jr on Saturday May 15 at 6:30pm. The user has also uploaded the same image in all his Facebook accounts under the same name.

In a statement here today, STAR Youth Chief Rizal Johari said the party would also lodge a complaint with the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) against the user.

“The individual is not a STAR member and has often made posts on social media particularly Facebook, allegedly representing STAR in order to confuse the public.

“We have been monitoring his page but we have always valued other people’s rights to express themselves even if it is detrimental to our cause.

“However, this person has crossed the line this time when he posted the libellous image and accused STAR of endorsing violence. This is unacceptable and the authorities must take action,” he said.

For this reason, Rizal said other than the five police reports, STAR from several other divisions will also lodge similar police reports against the user.

In the meantime, he urged STAR supporters to remain calm and not be easily swayed by statements that do not come from the party.
