THE Malaysia Government is doing it best to manage the 2019 novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak in the country.
Bagan Dalam assemblyman Satees Muniandy said the Government has the capability to deal with the 2019-nCoV effectively.
“People should stop spreading fake news pertaining to the outbreak as this would create panic in the society.
“We can see fake news being posted on various social media platforms. It is unethical and irresponsible.
“Please do your part and don’t share them,” he said in his speech at the Bagan Dalam constituency’s Chinese New Year open house yesterday (Feb 2).
Satees also urged the public to report any fake news to the relevant authorities such as the police or the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for them to take the appropriate action.
