CYBERJAYA, May 21 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has issued a statutory demand to TikTok following the platform’s alleged failure to adequately moderate offensive and defamatory content directed at the Malaysian Royal Institution. In a media statement today, MCMC said the action was taken after the circulation of harmful content linked to an account claiming association with His Majesty the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim. According to the commission, the content included offensive, false and threatening material, including AI-generated videos and manipulated images that could potentially violate Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA) 1998, as well as other Malaysian laws. MCMC stressed that misuse of online platforms to spread false, insulting or harmful content, especially involving the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and Malay Rulers, is viewed seriously due to its impact on public order, national harmony and respect for constitutional institutions. The commission also stated that TikTok’s moderation response was found to be unsatisfactory despite prior notifications and engagements, particularly in ensuring swift removal of harmful content and preventing its further dissemination. As part of the statutory demand, TikTok has been instructed to take immediate remedial measures, strengthen its content moderation systems and provide a formal explanation regarding its moderation failures. MCMC said it will continue taking firm and proportionate action, including further legal measures where necessary, to ensure digital platforms operating in Malaysia comply with local laws and maintain a safe, secure and respectful online environment. --SOURCE:MCMC CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS

TANJONG MALIM, May 27 — The body of 19-year-old Nur Izzati Humaira Azizul, who died after going missing while hiking at Bukit Changkat Asa near here last Saturday, was safely laid to rest at the Felda Trolak Utara Islamic Cemetery at 3.05am today. The burial took place after an autopsy was completed at Sungai Buloh Hospital (HSB), Selangor, at 12.19am. Earlier, the body of the second of four siblings was brought to the Ar-Riduaniah Mosque in Felda Trolak Utara for funeral prayers. Her father, Azizul Abdul Aziz, 48, personally led the funeral prayers at about 2.20am, attended by around 50 congregants. Speaking to reporters after the burial, Azizul expressed his gratitude to Malaysians and all agencies involved in the search and rescue (SAR) operation following his daughter’s disappearance on May 23. “I would like to thank all Malaysians who prayed and gave words of encouragement throughout the search for my daughter,” he said. He also urged the public not to spread unfounded speculation regarding the incident. “What our family hopes for now is that everyone will continue to pray and avoid making inappropriate assumptions,” he added. Azizul described this year’s Aidiladha celebration as especially emotional for the family following the tragic loss. “From now on, every Hari Raya will remind us of the day Angah left us. No matter what, she will always remain in our hearts,” he said emotionally. “My wife and I can testify that Angah was the best daughter to us. God willing, may she be placed among the gardens of heaven,” he said. Yesterday, SAR personnel discovered Nur Izzati Humaira’s body at about 11.59am, approximately 500 metres from the location where she was last seen and about one kilometre from the Incident Control Post (PKTK). She was believed to have gone missing at around 10.50am last Saturday while descending the hill with her family.
