Relating the incident, she said officers barged into her house at 10am on Tuesday and questioned her for three hours about her Facebook comments on July 30 at 23.21 that said: “Looks affectionate (manja), cute and funny.”
She had posted these comments along with pictures of Rosmah and Najib taken at a Hari Raya open house in Pekan.
The 35-year old building consultant said the officers did a search of her car and house as well as rummaged through her belongings.
“The way they searched my house, it was as if I was a murderer,” she told FMT, while adding she still felt there was nothing wrong with the comments she posted.
She said she would not delete her comments as it was her personal view of Rosmah. “What is wrong with saying someone is manja, cute and funny?” she asked.
After the house search and interrogation, Syarul Ema said she was instructed to present herself at the MCMC office in Cyberjaya at 3pm where she was questioned for a further four hours.
“They kept asking me why I posted those comments. I explained to them that I did not mean anything bad. I did not write anything bad about the Sultan either.”
She said she was told she would be charged under the MCMC Act and added, “I will also have to buy another handphone.”
In Feb this year, Syarul Ema was charged with insulting the prime minister by using obscene words in a Facebook posting via her profile ‘Ratu Naga’. She was charged with knowingly using the network application, to make and initiate the transmission of offensive comments against Najib over the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) with intent to annoy others.
The offence was allegedly committed on her Facebook page at 12.02am on Oct 6, 2015.
