Malaysia’s Finance Ministry has officially denied claims circulating online regarding a purported RM100 payment to be distributed to citizens in conjunction with National Day. The denial follows the spread of a poster making the false claim, prompting the ministry to issue a public advisory. Citizens are urged not to believe or further share the misleading poster. The ministry has not indicated any plans for such a payment, and the circulating information is considered disinformation. This incident highlights the ongoing challenge of combating false information online, particularly concerning financial matters. Authorities are likely monitoring the situation to prevent further spread of the hoax and potential public confusion. The Ministry did not specify if any further action will be taken regarding the spread of the false claim.
