A statement entitled “Siasatan Ke Atas Datuk Dr Zulkapli Mohamed, Ketua Pengarah Perkhidmatan Awam” (probe against Zulkapli Mohamed, Public Service Department director-general) dated yesterday allegedly issued by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is false.

According to the Prime Minister's Department (PMD), the statement, which went viral on social media, was malicious and intended to confuse the public.

“The public is urged not to share any unverified or false information,” it said on Facebook today.

PMD also urged the public to refer to its official social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok) for authentic news.
