The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has called the couple who mocked Ramadan by uploading a photo on their Facebook page that touched the sensitivity of Malaysians, especially
Muslims.

MCMC Chairman, Dato' Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi confirmed that the two individuals, Alvin Tan dan Vivian Lee, have been called to record their statements and assist in investigations.

"We have called the couple. They are expected to be present at MCMC enforcement office tomorrow," said Dato' Mohamed Sharil.

The couple posted a Facebook photo purportedly of them enjoying non-halal food with the caption "Happy Iftar with Bak Kut Teh... Fragrant, tasty and sumptuous!"

In a separate case on another Facebook page which mocked Ramadan by posting a photo advertisement of a suckling pig with a Halal Logo stamp, Dato' Mohamed Sharil said that the account owner appeared to be non-Malaysian and not domiciled in Malaysia.

"We have already reported this to Facebook and requested them to take down the offending page or delete the account," explained Dato' Mohamed Sharil.

The MCMC Chairman also advised the public to immediately report to Facebook via their onboard tab if they find any posting which insulted the sanctity of Islam.

Facebook users are also advised not to share any offending post or photo to prevent it from becoming viral and causing hurt to other citizens.

"Let us as Malaysians respect the month of Ramadan and our fellow Muslims. We should always be responsible for all our actions online as well as the sensitivities of others particularly on religious issues. Please take a stepback and think before we share anything online," reminded Dato' Mohamed Sharil.
