PUTRAJAYA (March 12): The enforcement of the Emergency (Essential Powers) (No 2) Ordinance 2021 is specifically aimed to tackle fake news on Covid-19 and Emergency Proclamation, said Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Abdullah.
He said the ordinance is a short-term remedy to curb the spread of fake news on the pandemic and the Proclamation of Emergency to ensure public order and safety.
