Yesterday the media reported that a special officer to Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari who is the owner of the Twitter account was arrested by the police last night.
The man was believed detained to assist in the investigation regarding his tweets about the convoy of the Melaka Yang Dipertua Negeri Tun Mohd Ali Rustam last month. - BERNAMA
