Police will employ the recently gazetted Anti-Fake News Act, in its probe into a hoax, claiming that Tunku Mahkota Johor, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim, would be footing the bill of shoppers at several supermarkets, in the state.
The rumours were sparked by a tattle of Tunku Ismail’s purported RM200 cash aid for each shopper, at a hypermarket in Pontian, which later saw the spread of similar claims of him, aiding shoppers at several other hypermarkets, including in Kluang.
