The National Registration Department (JPN) in Malaysia has urged the public to verify facts and stop spreading misleading claims about a 2023 civil marriage video that has resurfaced on social media. The video shows the Home Minister officiating the civil marriage of a non-Muslim couple, but JPN clarified that the event was part of a programme held in conjunction with JPN’s Diamond Jubilee celebration for National Registration Day 2023.
