Therewith, Roziana requested to clarify whether such a decision has been made by the President’s Office.

Speaking to Sun regarding the rumors, Rozaina said such rumors result in the public being misled to believe false information.

“Fake online news outlets are writing such misinformation without registration. The public thinks it is the truth when Hassan Kurusee and others make such accounts and spread such information,” she said.

Rozaina emphasized the importance of clarifying the validity of information before publication, adding no effort was made to combat misinformation.

She appealed to clarify the reality of the rumors presently being circulated against her.
