'Stop spreading unverified messages'

From the Daily Express (Nov 3): 'Stop spreading unverified messages'

KOTA KINABALU: The people should cooperate with the security forces in looking after security and not aggravate the situation by spreading unverified messages in the social media, said Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) Kawang Vice Chief II Goon Thien Sang.
  
He said that by spreading the messages of security threats from unverified sources would only create fear among the people.    "Businesses will be affected which in turn will weaken the economy of the State," he said commenting on rumours that went viral cautioning people not to go to the Sunday Gaya Fair for fear of retaliation from the Sulu people for the incident in New Penampang Township.    Goon said the people should have more confidence in the country's security forces.    "We are sure that the police, in particular, are aware if there is likely to be a threat to our security," he said, adding that the people on their part could assist by stopping to pass on this kind of messages to their friends and families.    A random survey in Gaya Street on Sunday showed the place being swarmed by police without any untoward incident happening.    "We should also be wary that there is a possibility such rumours could have been spread by bad hats as a decoy so that they can create problems in other areas.    "So the people must be responsible and stop spreading messages from unverified sources," said Goon.
