KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 – A police report has been made on the dissemination of false information about the health of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah which has gone viral on social media. Brickfields district police chief ACP Sharul Othman Mansor said the report was received from the Istana Negara security at about 1 am Friday.
“We will leave it to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further action,” he said when contacted by Bernama, here on Friday.
