The official Facebook page of Agriculture and Food Security Minister Mohamad Sabu was hacked at about 4pm today and could not be accessed by all account administrators.

The minister’s office confirmed the matter and said efforts to regain access to the Facebook account with the name “Mohamad Sabu” are underway.

It added that any status or statement uploaded on the Facebook page after it had been hacked is not from Mohamad or the legitimate administrator.

A check on the Facebook page, which has 340,000 followers, found that the last post was about his working visit to Kelantan, which was uploaded at about 3pm today.
