  "account": "The Election Commission (EC) and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) are taking steps to safeguard their website following a suspected cyber attack. EC chairman Datuk Seri Ramlan Harun informed reporters that a report on the incident has been submitted to relevant authorities to ensure the commission's systems remain secure. Ramlan emphasized that the EC is working with all pertinent parties to prevent any recurrence of such an attack. Following his inspection of the early voting process for the 16th Melaka State Election, Ramlan stated that an official statement on the matter would be released soon. He expressed hope that the cyber attack would not disrupt the website, which is crucial for the smooth execution of the election. An earlier EC live broadcast on social media had alerted the public to the potential threat posed by the cyber attack.
