Meta told to remove Zamri post on March 5, MCMC clarifies

The MCMC clarified that it had asked Meta to take down controversial preacher Zamri Vinoth’s Facebook post – that compared kavadi bearers during Thaipusam to individuals who are possessed or intoxicated – on March 5.

However, it said the decision to remove the content – found to contain elements of offence under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA) – ultimately fell on the platform.
