KUALA LUMPUR – The Health Ministry (MoH) has been instructed to lodge a report with the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) regarding the dissemination of fake news about Covid-19 vaccination on Twitter Spaces recently.
Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said in a tweet today that he has instructed the MoH to act against the social media user who had allegedly spread fake news.
“There is a time to educate and engage, But there is also a time to enforce the law. I have asked for a report to be lodged against @khalids with PDRM (police) and MCMC for spreading fake news regarding Covid-19 vaccination. Enough lies,” he said.
Earlier, a 31-second video by Twitter user @khalids went viral, showing a list of school teachers who died due to vaccination.
However, a check by Bernama on the Twitter user’s account found that it no longer exists. – Bernama, October 8, 2021
