Stop sharing fake news of Johor mall bomb threat, social media users told

KULAI: Social media users are urged to refrain from sharing unverified information that will lead to public unrest, especially regarding the alleged bomb threat to a shopping mall and hotel in Johor Baru, says Teo Nie Ching.

The Deputy Communications and Digital Minister said following the incident on Saturday (Oct 14), some social media pages shared false information "confirming" that bombs were found in the premises, which further stirred fear among the people.
