The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) announced on April 9 its intention to take legal action against blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, known as Papa Gomo, over false claims regarding the suppression of a news report related to the Malaysian Communications Minister.
Dato' Fahmi Fadzil, the Malaysian Communications Minister, announced legal action against blogger Wan Muhammad Azri, known as 'Papa Gomo', following remarks deemed a violation of a prior settlement. The minister expressed shock at the statements that sparked widespread controversy.
A court in Kuala Lumpur has convicted blogger Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, known as Papa Gomo, for sedition against the monarchy, imposing a fine of <strong>4,000 Malaysian Ringgit</strong>. The ruling followed the court's determination that the defense failed to provide sufficient evidence for the defendant's innocence.
