As such, Alwi said individuals who had been printing, importing, producing, reproducing, publishing, selling, issuing, circulating, offering to sell, distributing or in possession of the banned materials were considered to have committed an offence.
“Under Section 8 (2) of Act 301, if convicted, they can be imprisoned for up to three years or fined not exceeding RM20,000 or both,” he said.
Alwi also urged the public to report to the ministry’s Publication and Quran Text Control Division at 03-88868047 or fax to 03-88891682 or forward to KDN Integrated Public Complaints System at http://moha.spab.gov.my if the publications were still found in the market.
