Fahmi said he was informed that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is working with Facebook’s parent company Meta as well as the police, specifically its sexual, women and child investigation division (D11), on the probe.

He said the FB group in question will first be closely scrutinised and the contents verified before a further probe is carried out to identify the activities within the group.

“If any breach of the law is detected, the police will take action,” Fahmi told reporters after an event in Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya, today.

He said that, as a technical agency, MCMC will assist the probe in terms of account profiling and data preservation.

“For further information, please refer to the police and particularly D11,” Fahmi said.

Yesterday, MCMC said it was taking action against the Facebook group after it was flagged on X (formerly Twitter) by a user who filed a complaint.

The Facebook group is said to have been created in May 2021. Its description states that the group is for members to share photos of girls in baju kurung school uniforms.

Other social media users expressed disgust and concern at the group since it already had more than 6,000 members. They also urged the MCMC and police to apprehend the members.
