4 wanted for spreading false news on floods
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is looking for four individuals to assist in its investigation into the spreading of false news on the east coast floods through social media and messaging apps.
This comes following the rampant spread of false news, including claims that a Manek Urai school used as a relief centre had collapsed, claiming many lives.
Police have since denied the incident and another claim that 40 patients in Kuala Krai Hospital had died because of a lack of oxygen supply following the floods.
The individuals – three women and a man – have been asked to give their statements to the authorities immediately.
They are:
1. Norizan Osman (660113-03-5810). Last known address: A-1-6 Desa Bangsawan Jln 27/117A, Off Jln Budiman, Bandar Tun Razak, Cheras 56000 Kuala Lumpur.
2. Siti Hawa Mat Yunan (940125-03-5320). Last known address: Kg Seneng Jelawat, Bachok 16370 Kelantan.

4. Raja Rubiah Raja Abu Bakar (600106-01-5286). Last known address: No. 21, Jalan Jaya 1, Taman Jaya, Bandar Tun Razak, 56000 Kuala Lumpur.
