Prominent banker Nazir Abdul Razak has called for the Anti-Fake News Bill tabled in Parliament to be deferred.
In an Instagram post yesterday evening, the brother of Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak said the bill should be thoroughly debated before being implemented.
"As much as I abhor fake news, the Anti-Fake News Bill should be deferred. It must be comprehensively drafted and debated. It mustn't be rushed.
"This is about basic rights of individual expression, and instilling fear of such draconian punishment based on ambiguous definitions will retard our society," Nazir wrote.
