PETALING JAYA: Health minister Dzulkefly Ahmad has lodged a report with the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) over a fake Facebook account using his identity.
He said irresponsible parties had created the account using his name and questioned their purpose in doing so.
“An official complaint to MCMC was lodged this morning for further action from the authorities regarding the misuse of my identity which can mislead the public,” Dzulkefly said in a Facebook post.
The Kuala Selangor MP also advised the public to ignore any engagement made by the Facebook account.
The Amanah vice-president was appointed as the health minister during last month’s Cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim.
He was previously the health minister for 22 months during the Pakatan Harapan administration from 2018 to 2022.
