BAGAN SERAI: Perak PAS Commissioner Razman Zakaria today lodged a police report over a defamatory allegation against PAS and himself, which was in relation to Tronoh assemblyman Paul Yong Choo Kiong alleged rape case.
Razman filed the report urging the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to take action against the satirical Twitter account, Harakatdaily which uploaded a statement related to the rape case.
