PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is investigating an individual believed to have uploaded threatening, insulting and grossly offensive content against the Terengganu royal family via his X account. MCMC said the content touched on sensitivities surrounding the 3R elements of race, religion and royalty, while containing insults and threats that could potentially incite hatred, public tension and disrupt national harmony. MCMC stressed that it would not compromise on any misuse of social media involving threats, incitement of hatred or insults against the Royal Institution. It added that firm enforcement action would be taken in such cases regardless of the background of those involved. It also reminded the public not to misuse digital platforms to disseminate unlawful content.
