JPN urges public to verify facts and stop spreading misleading claims about 2023 civil marriage video

The National Registration Department (JPN) of Malaysia has issued a statement urging the public to verify facts and stop spreading misleading claims about a video that resurfaced on social media, showing the Home Minister officiating the civil marriage of a non-Muslim couple. The video, which has been circulating online, does not depict a recent event, but rather was part of a programme held in conjunction with JPN's Diamond Jubilee celebration for National Registration Day 2023.

JPN emphasized the importance of responsible sharing and verification of information, stating that recirculating old footage without explaining its context could create misleading perceptions and cause misunderstandings among the public.
