IN THE age of social media, misinformation can spread rapidly.
Recently, claims online have surfaced alleging that Majlis Amanah Rakyat (Mara) has appointed a company named MARA Consultancy Sdn Bhd to manage its financing and business services.
Is it true that Mara has engaged a third party for these tasks?
Verdict:
FALSE
Mara has firmly denied any association with Mara Consultancy Sdn Bhd for handling its financial and business services.
"Mara wants to emphasise that they have never appointed a third party to promote or process any of their financing and business facilities," the agency stated on their official Facebook page.
The confusion arose from social media posts suggesting an official partnership, which Mara has categorically refuted.
The public is urged to remain vigilant and avoid engaging in transactions with unauthorised entities claiming to represent Mara.
For those seeking accurate information about Mara's services, the agency advises checking their official website or following their verified social media platforms.
This ensures that individuals receive legitimate updates directly from Mara, preventing potential scams or misinformation from taking root.
