MCMC warns against sharing Kuching school violence footage involving teen, cautions of legal action

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has called for the immediate removal of video footage showcasing a dangerous incident at a Kuching school, involving children, urging those who have shared it to delete the content.

Such dissemination not only threatens the privacy and emotional well-being of the individuals involved but may also violate legal stipulations, specifically Section 15 of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611) and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588).

MCMC is working with social media platforms to control the spread of the footage and advises the public and media to cease sharing the video to protect the child's privacy and not hinder ongoing investigations.

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 22 — The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) urges individuals who have uploaded or shared video footage of an incident involving a dangerous weapon at a school in Kuching, Sarawak, to immediately delete the content.

In a statement today, MCMC emphasised that the dissemination of footage depicting acts of violence particularly involving children not only compromises the privacy and dignity of those involved but also negatively impacts the emotional well-being of the individuals and their families.

The Commission further cautioned that disclosing the identities of children may constitute a violation of Section 15 of the Child Act 2001 (Act 611).

“The dissemination of such content may also be subject to action under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588), should it contravene the provisions of the law,” the statement read.

MCMC said it is currently collaborating with social media platform providers to curb the spread of the footage, which includes taking steps to remove the relevant content.

Accordingly, MCMC advises the public, including media practitioners, to refrain from uploading, sharing, or further circulating the video of the incident.

“The public is also reminded not to recirculate such content, in order to protect the privacy of the child involved and to avoid interfering with the authorities’ investigation,” the statement added. — Bernama
