KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 3 – Meta Platforms Inc (Meta) has assured the government that the live broadcast of the Himpunan Pembebasan Palestin rally to be held at Axiata Arena, Bukit Jalil Sunday night will not be taken down, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He said this assurance by top Meta officials will ensure that the event could be streamed live without any disruptions, not only on the country’s leaders’ social media platforms but also by the media.
“I have emphasised and warned the Meta team that tomorrow night we will have this Himpunan Pembebasan Palestin event, which will be broadcast live, and requested their cooperation.
“I want to see them walk the talk by ensuring the broadcast is uninterrupted not only on the Prime Minister’s Facebook page but also among media friends during the event,” he said.
Fahmi hopes that with this assurance, issues like the removal of a similar rally broadcast last year will not recur.
