Mugilan's Facebook 'hacked': MIC Youth files report

KUALA LUMPUR: MIC Youth information chief S Subramaniam has lodged a police report against Gerakan Anti-Samy Vellu (GAS) leader V Mugilan over the latter's allegation that his Facebook account was hacked.In his report lodged with the Sentul police yesterday, Subramaniam accused Mugilan of attempting to tarnish the MIC leadership's image.


“Since GAS failed to live up to expectations, he is now trying to slander MIC president S Samy Vellu,” he said.Mugilan had claimed that his Facebook account was hacked by those linked to Samy Vellu in relation to a posting which associated GAS with Umno.The posting read: “Jangan takut Umno sentiasa bersama kita dan mereka berjanji akan bersama kita sehingga kita mencapai matlamat GAS. Saya amat terhutang budi kepada Umno yang bersama saya sekian Lama. Hidup Umno! Hidup GAS! Satu Malaysia!Terima kasih kepada semua.”
( Do not fear as Umno is with us and they have promised to be with us until we achieve our objective. I am grateful to Umno who has been with me for a long time. Long live Umno!Long Live BN! Long Live GAS! One Malaysia. Thank you all).
'Not easy to hack'

Meanwhile, Subramaniam also pointed out that it is not easy to hack a private Facebook account.
“I checked with the Multimedia and Communications Commission. They said it is not easy to hack a private Facebook page unless the hacker has the email address and password,” he said
In view of this, he urged Mugilan “not to seek cheap publicity” and warned him against linking Umno to GAS as it could strain the relationship between the Barisan Nasional component parties.
Mugilan, who was recently sacked as MIC Youth deputy chief, field a police report on Monday claiming that his Facebook account was hacked.
