The Dewan Rakyat today passed the Anti-Fake News Bill 2018 with a vote of 123 for and 64 against.
Interestingly, the bill received some support from the opposition bench as all 11 PAS MPs who were present voted in favour of the bill.
The amendments to the bill were passed at the committee stage.
The word "knowingly" is replaced with "maliciously" to define an offence under Section 4 of the bill.
The maximum jail term in the bill is reduced to six years, down from 10, while the proposed fine of up to RM500,000 is maintained.
