MELAKA: The Melaka Media Practitioners Club (Pendika) has lodged a police report after a journalist from a Bahasa Malaysia news portal received threats and had his family’s personal details exposed online following coverage of a case involving a self-proclaimed “silat master” accused of sexually assaulting two teenage girls.
Pendika chairman Amir Mamat said the harassment targeted journalist Muhammad Rizanizam Abdul Hamid, 44, and escalated when his family members’ images were circulated on social media, exposing them to physical threat and cyberattacks.
