PUTRAJAYA:
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has lodged police reports against three men – Badrul Hisham Shaharin, also known as Chegubard, Salim Iskandar and Wan Azri Wan Deris (Papagomo) – for allegedly making and spreading false accusations about its officers.

The commission said the reports were lodged yesterday over content posted by the trio on TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube on April 17.

“The content insinuates that MCMC officers acted under instructions with political interests and these were acts of power abuse,” it said in a statement today.

The MCMC said they also falsely claimed that the officers, in a recorded conversation, were upset with the current government and asked when the government would change.

“As a statutory body, the MCMC carries out its duties according to the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 and all subsidiary laws contained within,” it said.
