KANGAR (Bernama): A housewife was fined RM5,000 by the Sessions Court here Wednesday (Oct 13) after she pleaded guilty to a charge of spreading false news on the Covid-19 infection last April.
It’s so easy to pull the trigger on despatching ‘news’, but what if fact meets fiction?
A POPULAR piece of fake news making the rounds is the one involving two top business personalities and a valuer.
Their names need no mentioning to add more credence to the rumour but suffice to say, I know all three personally.
Two of them succumbed to Covid-19 or complications arising from their infection.
If you want to believe these spreaders, who are more infectious than Covid-19, all three were seated together at an annual dinner.
Facts tell us that companies have not held dinner events in the past 12 months.
KUALA LUMPUR: A housewife and a tutor are the first individuals in the country to be charged in court under the Emergency Ordinance for spreading fake.
