KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 19 – Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar warned of police action against anyone, even VIPs, who spread over the social media unverified information on terrorist threats in the country. Dissemination of such information could cause anxiety and fear in the people, he told a news conference at Bukit Aman here.
“I warn everyone not to share unverified news on terrorist threats over the social media, even by citing sources, because this equates to spreading rumours. Those who wished to ascertain or confirm any matter should refer to authentic reports,” he said here on Monday.
