KOTA KINABALU: A lawyer is urging the police and Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to act against allegedly defamatory social media postings against him.
Chin Tek Ming, who is also a legal adviser to Parti Warisan, said he came across Facebook posts with an edited photo of him with a woman accompanied by claims that he had left the woman to go back to his wife, was a pervert, and was trying to bring down Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
“These postings were shared by users... (who I do not know)," he said after lodging a police report at the Tanjung Aru police station near here on Friday (Feb 14) afternoon.
Chin said he did not know the motives behind editing the images and spreading false claims.
He believed the matter could be connected to his work for a client in the controversial mineral prospecting case in Sabah.
He urged the police to investigate and clear his name and hoped that MCMC would act against those spreading misinformation.
