The blogger arrested for allegedly insulting the late Sultan of Johor Sultan Iskandar ibni Almarhum Sultan Ismail will not be let off the hook easily, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.
“Let his case be a lesson to others who think they can express themselves openly without worrying about repercussions.

“He has been arrested and will have to wait for the Attorney-General’s Chambers to decide on the appropriate action to be taken against him.
“Even if he apologised to the Sultan or the public for making the insult, my ministry and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission can still take action against him,” he told reporters yesterday.
On Tuesday, blogger Asuda Taruna, who allegedly insulted the late Sultan of Johor, was remanded for four days to facilitate investigations.
Johor police chief Deputy Comm Datuk Mohd Mokhtar Mohd Shariff said the blogger is expected to be brought to the Batu Pahat police headquarters to facilitate further investigations into the matter.
“We will not let anyone insult the royal institution in any way. We will not hesitate to make more arrests if others are found to be involved in similar activities,” he told a press conference in Johor Baru yesterday.
He urged members of the public who find similar insulting videos or blogs to lodge reports quickly.
