TL;DR - DAP says more fake news coming on social media and internet.

Takes one to know one, I guess :

PETALING JAYA: The opposition can expect more fake news popping up on social media as the 14th general election inches closer, DAP vice-chairman Teresa Kok said.

“I won’t be surprised if more fake news starts to spread. We can’t avoid it. Such incidents tend to crop up when our political foes see us as a threat and get their cybertroopers to create fake news (about the opposition),” the Seputeh MP told FMT.

Kok said the only thing they could do was to quickly address any misinformation being spread by taking to social media themselves to clear the air and dispute the reports.

She explained this would be much faster than lodging a police report or even reporting the online fake news items to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

Kok said this in reference to the release of a fake press release attributed to her DAP colleague, Selangor exco Ean Yong Hian Wah, over the bullying incident of a Shah Alam City Council enforcement officer by a couple in Sungai Buloh on Thursday.

The fake press release, published by a news portal, alleged that Ean Yong had aided in settling the dispute between the couple and the officer concerned.

Ean Yong had said he believed that the fake press release was the work of political enemies out to paint a negative picture of the Pakatan Harapan coalition government in Selangor.

Kok said it was good that their supporters continued to do their part by going online to clear the air when such matters arose.

“As fake news has been spread over the years, supporters and netizens are also more cautious these days,” she said.

PKR communication director Fahmi Fadzil was also of the opinion that more fake news would make the rounds as GE14 approached, pointing out that such “news” was spread widely during by-elections.

He explained that such fake news could reinforce prejudices and perceptions, and as a result even produce a swing among undecided voters, be they urban or rural.

“The best way for parties and politicians to counter such fake news is to stay ahead of the narrative, to respond quickly and clearly.

“It will also help to have clear and direct channels of communications with the public in order to get the right message across,” Fahmi said.

Meh. DAP sendiri pun banyak fake news.

Jangan kata fake news, fake posts juga banyak.

LKS is believed to be a CIA agent. Is believed (can believe in anything and report).

Sources claimed that Bersih participants are armed with weapons. Sources claimed (interview pesakit Tanjung Rambutan).

Sudah tahu news tahi kasi sebar buat apa.
