The WhatsApp message that went viral claiming that residents of Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Lagong, Selangor not receiving any food assistance during the movement control order (MCO) is a hoax, said Department of Orang Asli Development (Jakoa) director-general Juli Edo.

He said the message also sought to collect funds from the public, to be banked into a CIMB account under the name of Noor Aziah Mat, aimed at channelling assistance to the indigenous community.
