Saifuddin nafi dakwaan beri kewarganegaraan ‘secara borong’ kepada warga asing

In a recent statement, Malaysian Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail warned all parties to cease the spread of misinformation and refrain from exploiting sensitive issues for political gain or media attention. The KDN has reportedly granted citizenship to foreigners through a "fair" process, and it is untrue that 1.2 million Chinese residents are leaving Malaysia, according to the minister.

Saifuddin has denied the allegations multiple times, providing explanations based on official facts and data. However, there are individuals who deliberately repeat the video, poster, and narrative associated with the issue, aiming to mislead the public and stir racial hatred and animosity. The minister clarified that such misinformation is not merely damaging to individuals or institutions but can also undermine public trust in the nation's institutions, foster animosity between communities, disrupt public order, and compromise national security.

He urged everyone to stop spreading misinformation and avoid politicizing sensitive issues or gaining attention through social media. He also called upon the public to verify the accuracy of information from official sources before accepting or spreading it. Let us all be responsible social media users; fact remains fact, data remains data. Do not let misinformation overshadow the truth.
