Its minister Gobind Singh Deo said it views with concern on postings that would pose great impact on national security and public order.

“But of course, there has been discussion in my ministry. We are in the process of getting opinions as to how we can deal with it ,” he told reporters after handing over myFreeview Decoders to the bottom 40 per cent and disabled group, here. He then referred to a particular social media posting which alleged that Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng had something to do with a Tabung Haji meeting.“So we have to be careful, especially when it comes to those using social media for the purpose of criminal threats. If there’s evidence to suggest an offence has been committed, then action will be taken. We have laws to deal with cases like this.

Asked whether MCMC has received a request to take action against a local portal over an allegation against Sabah Infrastructure Development Minister Datuk Peter Anthony, Gobind said it would be up to the police and Attorney-General’s Chambers to decide.
