Communications minister Fahmi Fadzil says he will meet TikTok’s top management tomorrow following concerns over the social media company’s allegedly tardy response in assisting the authorities in cases involving the spread of fake news.
The meeting, to be held at Bukit Aman, will also be attended by the inspector-general of police and the attorney-general, he said.
Speaking today, he cited a recent case in which a man had claimed to be a surgeon.
“TikTok was very slow in providing the police with the relevant information. I had to call the CEO of TikTok myself to inform them that this is a crime, and that their organisation was very slow.
“We can’t have such attitudes,” he told reporters after launching the Al Grand Prix Conference 2025.
