Kean Wong was arrested yesterday while renewing his passport at the Kelana Jaya immigration office.
The book’s publisher, Gerakbudaya, previously apologised for the design of the cover but said it had no intention of insulting or ridiculing the national emblem.
Bukit Aman’s criminal investigations department director, Shuhaily Zain, said that the case was being investigated under the Sedition Act 1948, the Printing Presses and Publications Act 1948, and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1948. The book was banned in July 2020 due to complaints regarding its cover, which included a caricature of Malaysia’s coat of arms, the Jata Negara. The book was also illustrated with a naked child flanked by two tigers with humanoid faces stepping on a crocodile.
