Today, it has been reported that Sugarbook founder and CEO, Darren Chan was arrested by the Selangor police. As most of you already know, the company got themselves in hot water for sharing the top 10 sugar baby universities in Malaysia.

Well, it has finally happened - Sugarbook got blocked in Malaysia. From our report yesterday, MCMC and the PDRM are now investigating the dating social network and claimed that it has violated Section 233 of the Multimedia and Communications Act 1998 for "illegal" activities (but no proof yet). However, Sugarbook members can still access via a new URL website.

Following the recent controversial statistic report provided by Sugarbook, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) just stated that they are working with the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) on investigating the dating app.

Today, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has just issued a statement that they did not warn against the usage of the #SiBodohKauDengarSini (translation - listen here, you idiot). In case you missed it, there is an on-going trend in Twitter with the hashtag and it's now an act of criticism against the Malaysia Government handling the pandemic. Before we get into the details, here's what MCMC said.

Following the hilarious tweeting comments on the Ministry of Communications and Multimedia Malaysia (MCMC)'s Twitter page just some time ago, the group has just announced that they have set up a committee for the Investigation of Improper Trial Case in 2014 on their Twitter account. The committee is chaired by Deputy Secretary-General (Telecommunication Infrastructure and Digital Economy), Tan Chuan Ou and four members.

MCO 2.0 will begin tomorrow (13 January) in Malaysia and with that, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) would like to once again remind everyone on checking facts instead of sending fake news around, as well as behaving nicely when posting comments online. In fact, MCMC will punish anyone who shares any fake news or threatening social posts online with a hefty fine.

Based on a statement by bernama.com, it seems that MCMC has suspended their customer service line (1800 188 030) and counters from today onwards until further notice. The reason for the suspension is to ensure the safety of their staffs, as well as reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

MCMC has recently posted a tweet on their Twitter account, stating that individuals who use unregistered and non-standard Cellular Booster and Repeater (CBR) will be fined up to RM500000 or imprisonment of no more than 5 years. This is because the usage of a non-standard CBR device lead to an increase in cellular disruption causing many users within the vicinity to lose reception.
