00:00Former Law Minister Zaid Ibrahim has criticised Communications Minister Fahmi Fazil for calling
00:18out the Chairman of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission in a speech at an
00:23event earlier today.
00:25In a post on X, Zaid said it was unnecessary for Fahmi, as a minister, to call MCMC Chairman
00:32Salim Fateh Din out on a public platform, adding that it was tantamount to a public
00:38rebuke.
00:39Zaid said the Commission has its way of dealing with the issue vested in it and that Fahmi
00:45should respect their professionalism.
00:48During his speech at the Jiwa Merdeka event, Fahmi had urged the MCMC Chairman to do something
00:54about the rising number of social media issues such as scams, the spread of fake news and
01:00cyberbullying.
01:01Fahmi had hinted that very firm action will be taken against social media platforms within
01:07the next few days over the issues that have arisen.
