KOTA KINABALU : – The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been requested to promptly conduct an investigation into TikTok users suspected of uploading content that incites and severely insults ethnic groups in Sabah.
In making this call, Richard Mazagi, president of the Rungus Pitas Sabah Association (PISAAN), stated that the association strongly condemns the TikTok content, which he claims insults ethnic groups, particularly the Kadazandusun Murut Rungus (KDMR) community.
“Drastic action must be taken because such statements can create an unstable environment,” he said in a statement here today ( Friday Aug 29).
Richard pointed out that the viral content questions the rights of the indigenous KDMR people in Sabah, raising concerns that it could provoke anger among the affected community.
“Statements that incite and severely insult the KDMR community can lead to ethnic tensions if not addressed by the authorities,” he said.
Therefore, Richard, who is also the head of KDM Kudat Division, hopes that MCMC will take firm action and bring those responsible to justice.
Meanwhile, he said the association will file a police report regarding the TikTok content at the Pitas Police Station.
“We are facing the Sabah state election soon, and if the TikTok content is orchestrated by certain political party members to gain support, strict action must also be taken against them,” he said.
