TWO Bukit Aman Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers will be stationed at the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). 

In a Facebook posting, MCMC said the move would strengthen knowledge and the capabilities of both enforcement agencies in terms of intelligence gathering, investigations, and prosecutions. 

According to the agency, the matter was agreed upon during a meeting between MCMC chairman Mohamad Salim Fateh Din and Bukit Aman CID director Abd Jalil Hassan today. 

“The meeting also discussed the need to strengthen investigations and enforcement of social media content related to race, religion, and royalty. 

“The empowerment of this kind of cooperation will continue from time to time taking into account the latest requirements in enforcing the provisions of the country’s laws,” said MCMC. – Bernama, April 3, 2023.
