Former deputy minister Fuziah Salleh will be charged at the Johor Bahru Sessions Court with allegedly spreading fake news tomorrow.
According to a statement from the police today, the Kuantan MP will be charged at 8.30am with regard to a video clip uploaded on her Facebook account earlier this month.
The posting depicted the Sultan Iskandar Building (CIQ Complex) in Johor Bahru turning chaotic after large crowds of Malaysians returned home from Singapore.
The Facebook page later carried a note where the page's "administrator" apologised for posting an old video clip.
Previously, federal CID director Huzir Mohamed said the case is being investigated under Section 500 and Section 505(b) of the Penal Code for slander and causing public fear, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the improper use of network facilities or service.
Police had also seized the PKR MP's mobile phone to facilitate investigations.
Malaysiakini is contacting Fuziah for comment.
