KUALA LUMPUR — The National Registration Department (JPN) has called on the public to exercise caution and verify facts before sharing information about a video related to civil marriage procedures from 2023.
The appeal comes as misleading claims about the footage continue to circulate on social media and messaging platforms. JPN stressed the importance of cross-checking information with official sources to prevent the spread of inaccurate narratives.
The department did not provide specific details about the video's contents but emphasised that citizens should rely on verified information from government agencies rather than unconfirmed reports circulating online.
JPN's statement reflects growing concerns about misinformation in Malaysia, particularly regarding government procedures and policies. The department encouraged members of the public to contact official JPN channels directly for clarification on any matters related to civil registration and marriage procedures.
The appeal underscores broader efforts by Malaysian authorities to combat false information and promote media literacy among the population.
