  "summary": "The Deputy National Unity Minister of Malaysia, R. Yuneswaran, has cautioned social media influencers against exploiting 3R issues, such as race, religion, and royalty, for online content. He emphasized the importance of preserving harmony in the country's multiracial society and advised influencers with large followings to be more responsible in producing content that spreads positive values. Yuneswaran urged influencers to avoid issues involving 3R, especially religious rituals, as they may not be familiar with the customs and rituals of certain communities. The Ministry of National Unity views the issue seriously and hopes it will be handled tactfully, leaving the investigation to religious authorities and the police. Yuneswaran also invited influencers to collaborate with the ministry to promote the Federal Constitution, the Rukun Negara, and the National Nationhood Programme.",
