Johor Bahru: Johor police have received three reports regarding a Facebook post deemed insulting to Islam, made by account owners Cecelia Yap Song KL and Harith Iskander. Johor police chief Datuk M Kumar, in a statement today, said the police reports were lodged in Iskandar Puteri, Johor Bahru Utara, and Kluang.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the Facebook post featuring a picture of a cup labeled 'Ham Sap Kopi' was uploaded three days ago by Harith Iskander. The post subsequently received a comment from Cecelia Yap Song KL. The police are conducting investigations under Section 298 and Section 505(c) of the Penal Code, as well as Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.

Kumar issued a warning to all parties to refrain from inciting 3R (religion, royalty, race) sentiments on social media, highlighting the potential to disrupt racial peace and harmony. Earlier reports indicated that comedian Shahrol Shiro had filed a police report against fellow comedian Harith Iskander, accusing him of using religious sentiments as a joke on social media.

Last Saturday, Harith, 59, shared a photo of a menu featuring the beverage 'Ham Sap Kopi,' priced at RM5.50, allegedly purchased from a food truck. Harith humorously captioned the post, expressing confusion and claiming his faith was shaken by the drink due to the word 'ham' on the menu.
