The first report was lodged against Screenshot’s Jeff Ooi for allegedly defaming the country, government and police force via a statement issue to Al-Jazeera reporter which was broadcast on YouTube following a gathering organised by Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (BERSIH).
The Malaysian Islamic Consumers Association, Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress and Pertubuhan Seni Silat Ikatan Kalam Malaysia wanted Jeff to be investigated, alleging that the interview not only tarnished the image of the country but was also seditious and caused racial tension.

Probably you can assist the police in finding statements which are deemed offensive and seditious enough to cause racial tension, otherwise can someone please enlighten me since when telling the truth is an offense in this country, let alone causing racial tension? Do you feel that it’s seditious? Does the statement given to Al-Jazeera a week ago cause any racial tension thus far?
Next, the second report was lodged against Malaysia Today’s Raja Petra Kamaruddin by a Shah Alam UMNO member Hisham Yusof.
It was reported by blogger Big Dog that the report was made on the article "What the eye does not see" with no further details provided.
