Perak DAP chief Nga Kor Ming has announced his withdrawal from social media until the coming general election.

This is after his Gmail, Facebook and Twitter accounts were hacked.

"I first suspected my social media accounts were hacked after the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) raided my house on Jan 18.

"Last Friday, I received a text message asking me to change the password of my Gmail accounts (davidngakorming@gmail.com), so I complied," he told Malaysiakini. 

He, however, noticed that his email was hacked again about 3am on Saturday by an unknown hacker from Slovenia, which resulted in 30,000 of his emails being lost from the inbox.

Similarly, he found that he could no longer enter his Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Nga made the announcement to prevent being framed for issuing controversial statements.

"This was not the first incident. My Gmail has been hacked before but it was not successful. In 2015, someone used my number to inform voters that I would disseminate petrol vouchers via text messages."

He had previously come under fire for allegedly publishing a post disparaging Hari Raya Aidilfitri duit raya (gift packets containing cash) as bribes.

Last month, MCMC raided Nga's house in Ipoh, his parents' home in Ayer Tawar and his service centre in Taiping, to check if several social media postings allegedly disparaging BN government, came from him.
