Individuals facing social media restrictions or content removal are advised to appeal through the newly established tribunal chaired by a High Court judge

KULAI: Individuals facing social media account restrictions or content removal are advised to file an appeal through the Communications, Multimedia and Online Safety Appeal Tribunal.

Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said the tribunal is chaired by a High Court judge together with at least two tribunal members.

“This is an ad hoc appeal tribunal that is neither chaired nor heard by officers of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), but by a High Court judge,” she told reporters after handing over aid to outstanding Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) 2025 students here today.

In this regard, Teo encouraged the public to make use of the channel should they encounter such issues.

Earlier, the Kulai MP said a total of RM5.4 million had been allocated to the education sector under the parliamentary constituency from 2022 until last year.

She said the allocation was channelled to schools under the federal government.

“Overall, I have taken responsibility for channelling appropriate allocations to every school under the Kulai parliamentary constituency, and complete applications will be given due consideration,” she said.

She added that the allocation included contributions for 432 outstanding SPM students, involving a total allocation of RM555,661 over the same period.
