Alvin Tan, who is fleeing sedition charges for an online Ramadan greeting featuring a pork dish, has dared the government to go ahead with plans to cancel his passport.

Home Minister Ahmad Zahid earlier today said the sex blogger’s travel document will be cancelled as soon as possible, under the Immigration Act.

"Don’t just threaten… just do it. Don’t be cowardly…," Tan dared Zahid in an expletive-filled Facebook posting.

Utusan Malaysia quoted Zahid as saying that the government will cancel Tan’s passpost "most likely on Monday".
 
Tan, 26, first entered the limelight when he faced disciplinary action from the National University of Singapore for the sex blog he maintained with partner Vivian Lee.

The duo on July 18, 2013 claimed trial to three charges under the Film Censorhip Act, Sedition Act and the Penal Code.

Tan skipped bail and fled to the United States to seek asylum.
