Kuala Lampur, April 16 --  

PUTRAJAYA, April 16 - A total of 299 pieces of fake content related to the global energy crisis have been taken down by social media platform providers so far, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

He said the number was out of 450 pieces of fake content identified by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to be taken down from March 29 to 7am this morning.

"So the take down rate is 66 per cent at this time.

"The rest are still in the process of being taken down by the platforms involved because taking down content sometimes takes some time at the platform level," he told reporters after attending the Communications Ministry's Monthly Assembly here today.
