TOKYO: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has launched a probe into a TikTok video featuring an individual stepping on an image of the Malaysian flag.
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said the government would not tolerate any mockery or insult of the Jalur Gemilang, which represents the nation's sovereignty, unity and identity.
"Firm action will be taken," he told Bernama upon his arrival here on Thursday (May 29).
Fahmi arrived in Tokyo this evening to attend the Asia-Pacific Telecommunity Ministerial Meeting (APT-MM) 2025, scheduled for May 30 and 31.
Local news portals reported that the video was allegedly broadcast from Sri Lanka and remained online for over four hours. This incident is part of an ongoing cyber war between cyberbullies in Malaysia and Sri Lanka. – Bernama
