Shabery vows to nab porn website culprits
Communication and Multimedia Minister Ahmad Shabery Cheek yesterday pledged to get the culprits who published a photograph of the son of a comedian on a child pornography website.
He said the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had contacted stand-up comedian Harith Iskander.
“If there are any reports of portals or websites that are used or manipulated as child pornography sites, we will not hesitate to block them,” he told reporters after launching the DiGi Empowers Societies programme in Petaling Jaya.
“More than that, we will find out who the source is and those responsible,” he said.
Ahmad Shabery was asked to comment on a post by Harith on his Facebook account about the photograph of his three-year-old son and those of other children published on a child pornography website.
Harith realised the matter after he was notified by a Google alert via email on Wednesday.
The comedian lodged a report at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail police station and reported the matter to the MCMC.
