Stern action needed


Combat the cyberbullies: social media comments clearly showed that some users had targeted and issued threats against the country’s top men’s doubles pair, aaron chia-soh Wooi yik, using fake accounts.

PETALING JAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has urged badminton players who receive extreme threats on social media to not only lodge police reports but also report the matter to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for further action.

Her advice came in response to a statement issued by the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) on Monday condemning individuals who left abusive and threatening messages towards players on social media following recent defeats.
