KUALA LUMPUR: The police are better suited to speak on enforcement actions against those who edited the video of the Prime Minister's interview with CNN, said Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching.
She made this statement in the Dewan Rakyat in response to Afnan Hamimi Taib Azamudden (PN-Alor Setar), who asked when the ministry would take action against those responsible for editing the video.
On Nov 15, government spokesman and Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil clarified that the viral video misrepresented the context of the Prime Minister's statements.
Fahmi emphasised that when viewed in full, the Prime Minister's remarks clearly reflected Malaysia's strong stance on defending the existence of Palestine.
The edited clip, which circulated widely, misrepresented Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's interview on the Israel-Palestine conflict, making it appear as though Malaysia recognised the existence of Israel.
