Kuala Lumpur: Police will submit the investigation papers regarding the 'ham' joke, which is alleged to insult Islam, to the Attorney General's Chambers (AGC) tomorrow. The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Tan Sri Razarudin Husain, stated that a statement has been recorded from a 64-year-old suspect, believed to have recently left a controversial comment on the Facebook account of a comedian and actor.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, twenty-one questions were posed to the suspect, a retired nurse, who admitted to posting the comment. The suspect explained that she posted the comment in response to the comedian-cum-actor's post, who was confused with the word 'ham'. The police also seized a mobile phone and a Maxis SIM card during the investigation.

Last Friday, the police took the statement of the 54-year-old comedian who had posted a status and a photo showing an RM5.50 coffee drink called 'ham sap kopi.' The content was posted amidst controversy surrounding the halal status of ham and cheese sandwiches, which was said to open the door to mocking Islam and Prophet Muhammad's name.

The police received 16 reports about the issue and initiated an investigation under Sections 298 and 505 of the Penal Code, as well as Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
