“All Malaysians must uphold the Constitution and respect all religions in Malaysia,” the Iskandar Puteri MP said in a statement. A man was sentenced to more than 10 years’ jail and three others were charged over insults against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad on social media, police said on Saturday. Lim said the case highlighted social media’s volatility and the toxic culture permeating the platform, where most information tends to be negative and consumed without verification.“Ask the important question with regard to every message, “Is this true”, and to check on the veracity of the message before sharing it with the others,” he said.
