Shahidan wants Facebook to be blocked ???????

KANGAR - Umno Supreme Council member Dr Shahidan Kassim (picture) called for the blocking of the Facebook social networking website if its contents continue to pose a threat to national security. He said a Facebook account holder was found to have taken advantage of the technology to insult Islam and leaders of Malaysia. "If the website content poses a threat to national security and insults Islam, then it is unnecessary to have Facebook," he told reporters after accompanying Perlis Facebook Association committee members to lodge a report at the Kangar police station on the insults hurled at Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak and former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad on a Facebook account. The report was lodged by the association's deputy president, Mohd Faizuddin Ismail, at about 5.30 pm. Shahidan said a report would also be lodged at the State Islamic Religious Department as the holder of the Facebook account had also insulted Islam, and added that the insults hurled at Najib and Mahathir were discovered by a member of the association on Nov 29. Shahidan, who is Tambun Tulang assemblyman, said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the Malaysian Islamic Development Department and the National Fatwa Council should act against the holder of the Facebook account. - Bernama
