Dakwaan rasuah, Mat Sabu ambil tindakan undang-undang terhadap warganet

Pertanian dan Keterjaminan Makanan Mohamad Sabu, or better known as Mat Sabu, has taken legal action against social media users accusing him of spreading false allegations and malicious intent. The Minister claims that disseminating baseless accusations and malicious intent online is wrong. He has instructed his lawyers to send a legal notice to the owners of the social media accounts that have accused him of involvement in the concrete shortage in Kedah.

Mohamad, who is familiarly called Mat Sabu, stated that there is nothing wrong with expressing views on specific issues on the internet, but spreading baseless allegations and malicious intent is wrong. "I have requested my lawyer to send a legal notice to the social media account owners involved. Social media allows everyone to voice their opinions, but every statement must be made responsibly," he said in a statement on Threads.

The letter also included a screenshot from a Facebook post accusing the minister of evading legal action during the investigation into the concrete shortage. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (SPRM) found that a company supplied 333,655 of the 616,015 bags of concrete needed for approximately 60,000 evacuees in Kedah for the first half of 2026, resulting in a shortage of 282,360 bags.

The company was appointed by the ministry to supply concrete to evacuees in the areas under the purview of the Mada Development Corporation. The spokesman for the company is now in hiding, while SPRM said Mohamad and his deputy may be called to assist in the investigation.
