Teo, the assemblyman for Senai, has denied allegations that he is involved in gang-related activities, according to NST Online. The denial follows social media posts that linked him and his party, DAP, to a secret society.
NST Online reports that a police report has been lodged over a post that made the connection between Teo, DAP, and the secret society. The report was filed in response to the online content, which has since drawn attention from both the assemblyman and his political allies.
In a separate statement covered by Free Malaysia Today, Teo claimed that new social media accounts have been created specifically to attack him. He suggested that the accounts are part of a coordinated effort to damage his reputation, though he did not provide evidence or name any individuals behind the alleged campaign.
The Senai representative has also lodged his own police report over the claims, according to Free Malaysia Today. That report appears to be a countermeasure to the original post, with Teo seeking to formally dispute the allegations through legal channels.
The posts in question have not been reproduced in full in the available reporting, so the exact wording of the claims remains unclear. What is known is that they sought to tie Teo and DAP to a secret society, a serious accusation in Malaysian politics where such links can carry significant legal and social consequences.
Teo’s denial is firm, but the matter is now in the hands of the police. The key question moving forward is whether the authorities will investigate the origin of the social media posts and whether any action will be taken against those responsible for spreading the claims.
