  "summary": "The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has identified several social media accounts and individuals linked to a resurfaced 2018 video that allegedly insults the Malay Rulers and the Rukun Negara. The video originated from a stage performance and has been circulating on social media platforms. MCMC is currently collaborating with the Criminal Investigation Department of the Royal Malaysia Police to complete the investigation, including matters related to digital evidence. The public is advised against speculating or spreading unverified information about individuals linked to the video to prevent disruption of the investigation. National Unity Minister Datuk Aaron Ago Dagang has urged the police and MCMC to conduct a thorough probe into the video and take appropriate action if any laws are violated.",
