MIRI, Oct 5 — Twenty-eight police reports have been lodged in Sarawak so far over the incident of a preacher, who is alleged to have insulted the non-Muslims as well as the Dayak community.
In disclosing this, Sarawak police commissioner Datuk Aidi Ismail said of the 28, four were lodged at Bukit Sentosa police station.
“The police stations at Mile 10 (near Kota Padawan), Tabuan Jaya (Kuching) and Bau register three police reports each, while the stations at Sri Aman and Batu Kawa (Kuching) receive two reports each,” he said when contacted yesterday.
