KUALA LUMPUR, July 26 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said that an audio clip, allegedly recorded during an internal meeting and widely circulated online, was removed by Facebook (Meta) for violating the platform's content policies. In a statement yesterday, MCMC said the removal was made entirely based on Meta's community guidelines and content standards. The commission added that monitoring and investigations were initiated following public complaints. 'MCMC takes seriously the act of uploading or sharing audio or video content without consent, especially when it potentially violates privacy, contains offensive material, spreads misinformation, or causes unnecessary distress to those involved.

Marketing assistant claims trial to flashing, sexually abusing stepdaughters

The cosmetics marketing assistant was brought to the Alor Gajah sessions court to face the three charges. (Pexels pic) PETALING JAYA : A 27-year-old cosmetics marketing assistant claimed trial today to flashing and sexually abusing his two stepdaughters. The accused, who was not named to protect the identity of his stepdaughters and is divorced, pleaded not guilty to three charges in the Alor Gajah sessions court before judge Aiza Khairuddin, Harian Metro reported. On the first two charges, he is accused of committing physical sexual abuse against the girls in their home in Alor Gajah between May 11 and July 5, in a bedroom and a bathroom. He is also accused of exposing his genitals to the children in the kitchen during the same period. The first two offences fall under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act 2017, which carries a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping upon conviction. The third offence is under Section 15(a)(i) of the same Act for non-physical sexual abuse. If found guilty, he faces up to 10 years in prison, a fine of up to RM20,000, or both. Deputy public prosecutor Ali Hussain proposed bail at RM20,000 for all charges, with one surety, and conditions that the accused report to the nearest police station once a month and avoid contact with the victims and prosecution witnesses. Defence lawyer Anif Rafih asked for bail to be reduced to RM12,000, saying his client earns RM2,000 monthly and has to support his two-year-old biological son, who is under the care of his mother in Pendang, Kedah. 'My client has no objection to the added conditions and promises not to disturb the victims,' he said. The court allowed bail at RM15,000 with one surety and imposed the prosecution's requested conditions. Case mention has been scheduled for Aug 25.
