In a press conference in Putrajaya which was broadcast live, the defence minister said that the government viewed such inaccuracies seriously, with the police and the Communications and Multimedia Ministry monitoring such offences. “Especially those which involve official statements from the government. The government views the actions done by them seriously, because the news which are false, news which are inaccurate, can confuse the public, and hence cause the people to worry.

Ismail Sabri had previously attacked a journalist for alleged “bad intentions”, after he was reported saying migrant workers in Selangor Mansion and Malayan Mansion needed to buy their own food, and that it was not the responsibility of Putrajaya.

IsmailSabri60 YB, if the statement from the Minister (not you) also confusing or misleading or contradicting then how? To be fair, same action must be taken on the Minister, right? Since everyone is under the law ... KEDAULATAN UNDANG-UNDANG

Next time don't make vague statements. Period.
