No directive to media outlets to disable comment sections on social media, Fahmi tells Dewan Rakyat


KUALA LUMPUR: Fahmi Fadzil stresses that he has never instructed any media outlet, including the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), to disable the comment section on its social media accounts.

The Communications Minister stated that media outlets have the right to impose restrictions by methods they deem necessary, including closing the comment section, while taking into account the Federal Court's decision regarding readers’ comments posted on media portal sites.
