KUALA LUMPUR, July 22 – Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil urged the people to not allow political hypocrisy, hatred to grow to a level that fake news and slander can be used for specific purposes.
Fahmi said the spread of fake news and slander are dangerous as resorting to such desperate moves can tarnish the image of Malaysia, disrupt unity and harmony that has existed for so long and at the same time pose a threat to the country’s ideals of independence.
“Moving into 67 years of Independence, unity among the people of various races, religion and background must continue to be strong and vibrant.
“We have entered the phase of celebrating the Month of Independence and Malaysia Day. Therefore, put differences aside and enjoy the true meaning of Independence that can unite the people,” he said in his X account on Sunday.
