Selangor Pakatan urges MCMC, police to probe defamatory post by opposition assemblyman accusing PM Anwar of dishonouring King Posted on January 5, 2025 By serv SHAH ALAM, Jan 4 — Selangor Pakatan Harapan (PH) has lodged a police report against an opposition assemblyman from the state accused of posting defamatory content about Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Selangor PH vice-chairman Azli Yusof condemned the accusations, which falsely claimed the Prime Minister supported actions that betray or dishonour His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia. In response, PH Selangor is calling on the authorities, specifically the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), to carry out a comprehensive forensic investigation into the individual’s social media account in order to uncover the true culprits behind the defamation. “… what’s particularly troubling is that this post appeared just one day after Sultan of Selangor Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah issued a statement expressing concerns about the rise of character assassination,” Azli said. “We, in PH, are committed to educating the public to embrace a culture of Rahmah, one focused on collaboration to build the nation, rather than fostering a climate of defamation and divisiveness that can tear it apart,” he added.
