The following is a press statement by Attorney General Tan Sri Tommy Thomas on the novel coronavirus (2019-2CoV), reproduced in full. Lies and rumour mongering on novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV
The importance of truth can never be over-emphasised. Whether in private dealings or in the public and national affairs of the state, truth is paramount. When times of epidemic or pandemic crisis occur in any society, it is critical that truthful and honest statements are issued by health authorities on a regular and prompt basis so that the millions of individuals who make up a society can themselves make informed decisions relating to their own health and safety, and that of their loved ones. No society can permit truth to be a casualty in such circumstances.
When epidemics occur, panic must be prevented among the citizenry. Instead, calmness and firmness of authority should guide the people on the origins, scale and magnitude of the epidemic. Lies about the origins, scale and magnitude of the disease must not be permitted because they endanger public safety. That rumour mongering is repugnant to common decency is most pronounced at such times in our national life. The credibility of the internet as the pre-eminent source of news and information is therefore vital.
It is against this background that as Public Prosecutor, I take very seriously the incredible volume of lies relating to the “coronavirus” epidemic gripping the attention of Malaysians, and, indeed, across the globe. Accordingly, I have decided that it is in the national interest that persons who initiate and disseminate lies on any issue relating to “coronavirus” on the internet shall be investigated, and if a case exists, be charged.
No freedom is absolute in any society at any point of time in history. The constitutionally entrenched guarantees of free speech and expression and the statutorily guaranteed right not to censor the internet stated in Section 3(3) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 do not give a license to propagate lies.
