    KUALA LUMPUR: Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil has sent a notice of demand to Wan Muhammad Azri Wan Deris, popularly known as Papagomo, over allegations that he gave a political talk at a mosque in Rawang, Selangor in July and misused ministerial powers.

    Lawyer Asheeq Ali Sethi Alivi said the notice was issued today (Aug 11).

    “The minister is demanding a retraction and an open apology from the individual,” he said in a statement, adding that the defamatory posts on Facebook and TikTok were malicious and made to sully Fahmi’s good reputation.

    The posts insinuated that the minister had gone against the decree of the Sultan of Selangor by conducting a political talk at a mosque, and contained innuendos that Fahmi was abusing his ministerial powers, he added.

    Fahmi had refuted the allegations made against him that he was campaigning at the mosque and stressed that he was ready to fully cooperate with the Selangor Islamic Religious Department if needed.

    Selangor police chief Datuk Hussein Omar Khan had previously been reported to have said that there was no element of political campaigning in Fahmi’s speech made at the main prayer hall of Nurul Yaqin Mosque, Kampung Melayu Seri Kundang, Rawang.

    Examination of the 12-minute video recording by the police indicated that the speech by Fahmi was related to an explanation regarding the British band The 1975, he added. – Bernama
