PETALING JAYA: The production team of a film being shot in Bandar Bukit Puchong in Selangor not only had to deal with a fire that broke out on set, injuring 31 of the cast members including Hong Kong veteran actress Sharon Yeung Pan-pan, but fake news as well.

Jack Lim, the Malaysian executive producer of the Chinese New Year movie Amazing Spring, said some foreign media reported that the crew had accidentally poured fuel on the actors, which led to the fire at about 7am on Monday.
