True or not, Malacca exco scandal is slander, says CM
Malacca chief minister Ab Rauf Yusoh considered the recent controversy sparked by an alleged scandal between a state executive councillor and a woman as a smear that could happen to anyone.
He said, in this modern cyber world, various forms of defamation can be easily spread by irresponsible parties on social media.
“I consider that as slander, even though I don’t deny it may be true or otherwise.
“It can also be a game played by political enemies,” he said at a press conference after visiting the location where thousands of fish died in Sungai Melaka today.
Rauf (above) said this in response to questions regarding the allegations that had gone viral on Facebook yesterday, adding that he knew how the controversy had started after studying the claims but refused to comment further on the matter.
He added that it was up to the individual concerned whether to lodge a police report or take any action.
