In early 2025, independent preacher Zamri Vinoth sparked outrage with a Facebook post allegedly insulting Hinduism, prompting nearly 900 police reports nationwide. The controversy erupted after Zamri commented on the kavadi ritual during Thaipusam, drawing ire for his provocative words. By March 12, Inspector-General of Police Razarudin Husain confirmed 894 reports, with the investigation referred to the Attorney-General’s Chambers. Despite the post’s removal by Facebook, calls for Zamri’s arrest grew, with DAP’s RSN Rayer insisting he face charges. Tensions simmered in Malaysia’s multiracial society, yet no legal action had been taken, leaving the public divided and watchful.
