The news of the fire incident at Angkasapuri in Kuala Lumpur, as viraled on social media Saturday night is not true.

A Kuala Lumpur Fire and Rescue Department (JBPM) spokesman said the department had not received any report of the fire incident.

"So far we have not received calls on the fire at Angkasapuri from the Kuala Lumpur JBPM Operations Centre either," he said when contacted by Bernama tonight.

"At about 9 pm today a Twitter and Facebook account holder using the name 'Zunar Cartoonist' uploaded a photograph of a burning building with the caption :

"Building being constructed at Angkasapuri worth RM2 billion on fire now?"
