The national internet regulator said the image was posted last night but did not disclose the Facebook account or elaborate further on the form and manner of the disparagement.“Investigations are being taken under Section 233 of the Communication and Multimedia Act 1998 for improper use of network facilities or network services to spread news with the intention to bother others,” MCMC said in a statement today.
The picture was accompanied by a contemptuous and vulgar caption in Malay that mentioned “sultans” and the “peninsula” which it claimed to be getting paid for doing nothing and ended with “such bad luck”.
