A political leader has been identified to have been involved in the spread of a misleading video clip which tries to manipulate the statement made by Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob statement in Dewan Rakyat concerning the use of subsidised cooking oil in packets by ‘makcik goreng pisang’ (lady who sells banana fritters).
