He said the action was taken following MCMC’s monitoring of new media outlets with the cooperation of relevant government agencies.

“It is hoped that continuous monitoring and action by MCMC and other agencies will contain the spread of Daesh ideology by the terrorist organisation through social media,” he told Bernama today.

Salleh said the cooperation of all parties was important and the government wished to seek help from the public to inform MCMC if they have information on this matter.

“Considering that Daesh is very active in creating new websites and social media accounts, we appeal to the public to report to MCMC if they have any information regarding this matter.”

On Tuesday, Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said the police were also closely monitoring Islamic State’s Bahasa Malaysia publication Al Fatihin, believed to be operated by the group’s Malaysian and Indonesian followers.
