KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Information Minister Datuk Seri Chia Kwang Chye said some irresponsible elements are out to tarnish the reputation of Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein via a short message service (SMS) purportedly sent out by Bernama.
“The minister did not make such a statement nor did Bernama send out such an SMS,” he said in a statement issued here yesterday.
The SMS purportedly quoted Hishammuddin talking about Indian and Chinese voters' support.
Chia advised the people not to be misled by the SMS.
A spokesman from Hishammuddin’s office said the Umno Youth chief also did not make any public statement on Wednesday.
He said his office would ask the authorities to identify the source of the SMS. – Bernama
