Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Deputy Minister Teo Nie Ching reported that 99,693 scam-related posts were removed from social media platforms as of July 15, surpassing the 98,503 taken down throughout 2025. During the same period, MCMC submitted 106,268 requests to social media platforms like Meta, TikTok, and YouTube to remove such content, compared to 102,113 requests in 2025.
Teo emphasized that while the platforms have the final say on whether to remove the content, their compliance rate for scam-related cases is usually above 90%. Additionally, Teo reminded the public to fly the Jalur Gemilang correctly in conjunction with National Month, as part of the '1 House 1 Jalur Gemilang' campaign, to prevent complaints about inconsistent enforcement by local authorities or the police.
