‘King shows concern by supporting law’


THE Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Muhammad V’s support of the proposed law to curb fake and defamatory news in social media shows His Majesty’s concern for the people and his desire for them to refrain from such immoral activity, says Communi­cations and Multi­media Minister Datuk Seri Dr Salleh Said Keruak.

“I am pleased that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong has expressed his stand on this matter to stem the circulation of fake news,” Bernama quoted him as saying after launching the Malaysia Fintech Expo 2018 at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre here yesterday.
