POLICE are investigating former senator Siti Aishah Shaik Ismail over a TikTok video that went viral recently on the alleged removal of subsidies by the government.

Perak police chief Mior Faridalathrash Wahid said Siti Aishah, 39, had a statement recorded from her by an officer from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) at the Sungai Senam police station in Ipoh at 1.45pm today.

It is understood that the investigation on Siti Aishah, who was appointed senator on June 22, 2015, was made under the MCMC Act 1998.

She had uploaded a video recording on TikTok over the subsidy issue, claiming that various subsidies would be abolished from July 1, which could result in public anger against the government. – Bernama, June 27, 2022.
