Two police reports on the matter have been lodged at the Dang Wangi police headquarters.
Two police reports have been lodged over viral messages and images purportedly aimed at defaming Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng, his press secretary Lufti Hakim said today.' for civil servants, while the other related to the status of medical graduates from Egyptian universities.
In a statement today, Lufti said the two reports were lodged at the Dang Wangi police headquarter on March 28."These messages were aimed at slandering the minister and to raise public concerns. "Such allegations are false, baseless and go overboard, because they are an attempt to incite racial sentiment and undermine public confidence in the government."
As Lufti noted, the dissemination of false information is an offence under the Penal Code and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. " wish that the police will probe the source of the images, and for the individuals responsible for creating these fake and malicious messages and images to have action taken against them accordingly," the statement read.To post or ‘like’ comments on Malaysiakini stories, you will need to sign in with an active paid subscription.
