NSTnation 'Malaysians now more discerning when reading news via social media'

Hassan Abdul Karim said even without the Anti-Fake News Act, government agencies were able take action against fake postings using other laws and avenues, even those that were not criminal in nature.

“I read an opinion piece by veteran journalist A. Kadir Jasin who said that although news could be obtained easily through mobile phones, people these days prefer to seek real news from mainstream media like newspapers and television. “There is internal monitoring within the agencies, compared to information obtained easily through social media where the news is monitored by a single person.“Always remember to filter the news first and do not accept them without verifying the information.

Meanwhile, Shaharizukirnain Abd Kadir said the Act should be maintained and seen as a complementary law to existing ones.
