The Communications and Multimedia Ministry is monitoring websites and blogs offering Malaysians to go to Syria and Iraq and fight there in the name of jihad.
Its deputy minister Datuk Jailani Johari said the ministry was aware of the increasing number of websites and blogs carrying such calls lately with information that could confuse the public.
"The ministry through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is cooperating closely with various investigation agencies including the Royal Malaysian Police on the problem.
"Usually, the MCMC will assist in the forensic aspect if requested by the police because according to the law, this matter comes under the jurisdiction of the police as it is a criminal offence."
Jailani said this to reporters in Hulu Terengganu today.
Jailani, who is also Hulu Terengganu MP, also advised the public to always refer to agencies like the police, the Home Ministry and MCMC on any dubious information found on websites and blogs.
He cited websites that offered people the chance to be armed fighters in Syria and Iraq, which he said was wrong and against those countries' law.
"Don't easily fall for such offers... there are certain quarters disseminating such news and offers in order to become popular," he said, adding that Malaysians should use the Internet wisely and for good things instead of interfering in the affairs of other countries.
Recently, Wisma Putra disclosed that 15 Malaysians were allegedly killed in Syria after joining the terrorist and jihadist activities of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil).
The claim was reportedly made by a Syrian official based in New York at a press conference on June 18, where he alleged that citizens of other countries, including from Asean, were also involved in such activities in Syria. – Bernama, July 7, 2014.
