Summary
The Putrajaya Media Club (KMP) lodged reports with police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission after a social media post altered a photo of journalists and photographers at Pusara Negara during Tun Dr Mahathir’s visit to his late wife’s grave, depicting the media as animals and adding the caption “Akal waras semakin sukar ditemui.” KMP called the edit insulting and said journalists had received no official notice prohibiting photography.
Putrajaya police confirmed receipt of KMP’s report and said the case is being investigated under Section 505(c) of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
