UMNO Supreme Council member Lokman Noor Adam has taken down a defamatory Facebook post on PKR president-elect Anwar Ibrahim after being alerted that it is fake news.

“I have checked, and removed it. I have announced that the statement is untrue,” he told The Malaysian Insight.

“I posted about a sodomy case in Singapore. But upon checking with the source, it didn’t happen.”

Earlier, Singaporean publication beritamediacorp told Lokman to remove the post, and denied that it was the source of the report referred to by Lokman.

“We have been told that Lokman claimed his post was sourced from beritamediacorp,” said the media agency.

“This is not true, and the news spread by Lokman is fake news.”

In the post, Lokman said an Indonesian citizen had lodged a police report in Singapore, alleging that he had been sodomised by Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail’s husband.

“The incident is said to have happened in Singapore recently.

“Her husband is Anwar Ibrahim. The victim is currently being guarded by Singapore police in a hospital,” said the post by Lokman, who was a communications director in the Finance Ministry under the Barisan Nasional government. – September 30, 2018.
