PETALING JAYA – A video featuring the younger brother of autistic child, Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin, taken by the Department of Social Welfare (JKM) has touched the public’s hearts.
Through a one-minute and one-second recording that went viral on Facebook, Zayn Rayyan’s younger brother was taken to the JKM van by both his parents.
Even sadder, Zayn’s brother Rayyan was seen crying and refusing to get into the van.
The child’s father was also seen wiping away tears as soon as his son entered the van.
Going by the comments, most of the users were left heart-broken and hoped that the family could be reunited.
“I can’t imagine if I was in that place, people would want to separate me from my child, maybe I would faint,” said Ieka.
“I hope that what God allows is the best for this little one. Who are we to prevent the will of Allah SWT,” said Eiqen.
“God is sad, my tears keep coming,” said Azian.
Information Related To Zayn Rayyan Murder Leaked
Meanwhile, the purported leaked information related to the investigation into the Zayn Rayyan Abdul Matiin murder case was not taken down from social media yet.
The leaked information began circulating on Telegram and TikTok last Thursday after Zayn Rayyan’s parents were charged with neglecting the 6-year-old boy.
Checks on various social media platforms, including TikTok and Telegram, revealed that the content had not been removed.
A certain Telegram channel shared an improved version of the leaked information that has been converted into a portable document format. “We’ll give you a better version to read,” said the post.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on Sunday asked several social media platforms to delete the content.
Requests for Takedown Sent to Social Media Platforms
In a statement issued on June 15, MCMC said it had sent requests to operators of social media platforms, including TikTok and Telegram, to take down the related content.
Warning Against Sharing Unverified Information
“Sharing or spreading the alleged investigation information about the case is an irresponsible act that could interfere with the trial. MCMC reminds the public not to share unverified or false information,” it said.
The commission also advised social media users to delete posts or comments that could spark speculation about the case.
Legal Consequences for Offenders
“Sharing unverified or false information could be an offence under Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998.
“Offenders can be fined up to RM50,000, imprisoned for up to one year, or both, with an additional fine of RM1,000 for each day the offence continues after conviction,” it added.
