Pakatan Harapan is calling for a leadership change at the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) for allegedly trying to silence people critical of the government's handling of the recent floods.

"We deeply regret the MCMC being used as a government tool to shut the mouth of the people at a time when people are desperate and suffering due to the floods.
