Rockybru.blogspot.com reported that Sunday was a “police reporting” day for two Malaysian bloggers as there were police report made against the two.

The blogger posted that Malaysian Islamic Consumer Association, Malaysian Indian Muslim Congress and Pertubuhan Seri Silat Ikatan Kalam Malaysia made police report against Jeff Ooi, for www.jeffooi.com, for making statements and comments to a Al Jazeera interview on the Bersih rallies which was deemed as tarnishing the country’s image, seditious and causing racial tension.

In an update, Rocky’s Bru also reported that an Ummo member also made a police report to a post by Raja Petra Kamarudin on comments on the recent Bersih rallies. The alleged post can be found here.

Jeff’s first interview with Al Jazeera can be found below.

Al Jazeera, in all fairness of journalism, interviewed Malaysian Information Minister whose response was described as a “joke” by Malaysian blogger Kenny Sia.

Jeff was again later interviewed by Al Jazzera on the aftermatch of the Bersih rallies which the Malaysia Information Minister was reported to have declined to partake in the interview.

Are the statements by Jeff a representation of the man on the street at the Bersih rallies, or made with intend to tarnish the country’s image, seditious and causing racial tension?

Jeff Ooi has not made any comments on the police reports on his blog as yet.
