The minister’s office also said none of the administrators of the Facebook account have been able to access the page after it was hacked at about 4pm.

“We are working on regaining access to the Facebook account,” it said, adding that any Facebook postings since 4pm were not uploaded by Mohamad, also known as Mat Sabu, or the administrators.

The last Facebook post on Mohamad’s page was at 3.10pm concerning a work visit to a cattle farm in Bachok, Kelantan.
