Khairy orders MOH to lodge police, MCMC reports against fake news on Twitter

KUALA LUMPUR: The Ministry of Health (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 regarding COVID-19 and vaccination on Twitter Spaces, recently.

Health Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said in a tweet today that he had instructed MOH to act against the social media user who allegedly spread fake news.

Earlier, a 31-second video by a Twitter user with the account @khalids on a list of school teachers who died due to vaccination, went viral.

However, a check by Bernama on the Twitter user's account found that it is not accessible.
