A businessman has lodged a police report against web portal Malaysia Today and its owner Raja Petra Kamarudin for an article in the site which he alleged could cause disunity.



Noor Hisham Yusoh, 33, lodged the report at the Brickfields police station at about 7.30pm yesterday accompanied by seven other friends urging the authorities to carry out investigations into the article.



He said the article headlined “What the eye does not see” by Raja Petra had elements of instigation.



“As a Malaysian citizen, I think that his accusations are serious and can convince a lot of people in Malaysia that the country is not peaceful anymore,” he said, adding that the article could make the situation worse.



Noor Hisham from Bukit Subang said he decided to lodge the report after having a discussion with his friends who agreed that the article could cause disunity in the country.



“We are living in a very prosperous country and we do not want such an article to cause any problem,” he said.
