KUALA LUMPUR: The deputy speaker of Malaysia's lower house of parliament Mohd Rashid Hasnon apologised on Wednesday for causing confusion over a viral video showing him attending an event in his constituency in Batu Pahat, Johor.

The police said that they would call up Mr Rashid and others in the video to assist in investigations, reported Malay Mail. In his response to the media on Tuesday, Mr Mohd Rashid was reported as saying by Malaysiakini that the event shown in the video was actually held last year before the MCO was imposed. He refuted claims that he had violated the standard operating procedures barring any gathering or event.However, in his statement issued on Wednesday, Mr Mohd Rashid clarified that his earlier denial was made without him actually viewing the video from the beginning.

After having the time to look at it more closely, he said the viral video was shot during a visit to a durian farm to listen to the complaints from durian small farmers who are affected by the MCO.
