KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 10 (Bernama) — Former Puchong MIC Division chief Awtar Singh has apologised over remarks he made in a TikTok video on April 17 that touched on the reputation of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) and its chairman, Tan Sri Muhammad Salim Fateh Din.
In a video uploaded on his TikTok account, Awtar expressed regret over the baseless allegations and admitted that the remarks had tarnished the good name of Muhammad Salim and MCMC and undermined public confidence in them.
“I would like to extend this apology to Muhammad Salim, his family, and all MCMC officers and staff who were directly or indirectly affected by my unfounded statements,” he said.
Awtar conceded that his earlier claim alleging MCMC’s failure to act against mobile phone scam syndicates was untrue, unfair and made without understanding the actual facts.
He added that he deeply regretted his actions and pledged not to repeat them, including uploading, posting or publishing any statements or content that could affect the reputation of MCMC or its chairman.
