MCMC removes insulting image of Sultan Ibrahim from Threads

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has taken immediate action against the spread of an edited image of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Ibrahim, on the Threads platform. The image contained insulting elements.

MCMC contacted Meta, the provider of the Threads platform, to address the matter. As a result, the offending content has been removed and the associated account has been blocked from access.

Authorities are currently conducting an investigation to identify the individuals responsible for creating and distributing the content. MCMC stated that further legal action may be taken under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. The public has been advised against uploading or resharing the content to prevent further spread.
