The MCMC has confiscated the SIM card and a mobile phone of MyNewsHub’s social media account operator following the uploading and sharing of an old video clip that caused confusion among the public.

The MCMC in a statement today said that it recorded the statement of the account operator at the MCMC headquarters in Cyberjaya near here, at about 8.40pm yesterday.
“The recording of the statement follows the action by the suspect of uploading and replaying an old video clip with text that caused confusion among social media users,” said MCMC, adding that an investigation paper would be handed over to the Attorney General’s Chambers after investigations.The case is being investigated under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 which provides for a maximum fine of RM50,000 or imprisonment of up to one year, or both, if convicted.
