MOH counters fake news

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 18 — The Communications and Multimedia Ministry (KKMM) Quick Response Team counters fake news that has gone viral on social media.

The Health Ministry (MOH) has denied the authenticity of the poster showing 5,122 new Covid-19 cases yesterday that went viral on social media.

Instead, only 3,339 new Covid-19 cases were recorded based on the daily media conference by Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

The MOH urged all irresponsible parties to stop spreading fake news from unverified sources that can cause confusion and concern among Malaysians.
