Viral videos targeting Sabah leaders prompt police probe


KOTA KINABALU: Police are investigating two viral videos that allegedly defame Kuamut assemblyman Datuk Masiung Banah and Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.

According to a Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah Youth leader, Willy Frous Darinsok, at least four police reports have been lodged over the matter, two in Sandakan and one each in Penampang and Kota Kinabalu.
Darinsok said the videos, shared on social media since Friday (Aug 9), were uploaded by individuals who, he claims, aimed to humiliate the two leaders involved.
