DAP Taiping MP Nga Kor Ming said he is not the administrator of the Facebook fanpage that is now deactivated, which allegedly had a posting insulting to the Aidilfitri festivities.

He said the page was set up and managed by his supporters, but did not name them.

"I am not the admin, my supporters are managing it. Basically they set it up themselves without asking me, to push for political reform.

"Previously I noticed there were 450,000 fans. That's quite a good response, so I let them continue without taking action," the Perak DAP chairperson told Malaysiakini.

Nga said he was aware that the fanpage had been deactivated since yesterday, and suspected the page had been hacked.

Nga allegedly on July 6 posted a caricature of children and guests receiving Aidilfitri 'duit raya' cash packets, likening it to receiving dedak or bribery.

Nga denied the alleged post was ever on his Facebook. Checks by Malaysiakini also did not find the said posting.

Inspector-general of police Khalid Abu Bakar had said the police were probing Nga under Section 298 of the Penal Code and the Sedition Act 1948, after receiving several police reports.

Nga said there might be a political plot against him, adding that although he had denied making the post, BN leaders continued to harp on the issue.

He added that he had been victimised and maligned. He also revealed he had made complaints to the Communications and Multimedia Committee, but to no avail.
