KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Artistes Association (Seniman) president Rozaidi Jamil is among four people to be charged under Communications and Multimedia Act for sharing fake news on the Covid-19 virus last month.

Rozaidi, better known as Zed Zaidi, was questioned by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for two hours last month over his post.

The internet authority had investigated him under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act, over a picture which claimed that all countries had barred tourists from China except Malaysia.
