Viral AI Video Spreads False Information on Malaysian LPG Subsidies; Clarifying Video Emerges

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – A recent viral video using AI technology has spread false information regarding the Malaysian government's Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) subsidy program. The video, which has garnered significant attention, inaccurately portrays the program's implementation, causing confusion among citizens. However, a clarifying video has emerged, explaining the details of the subsidy program, which was launched in 2021. "This is about the facts," states the speaker in the clarifying video, "Many people are confused by the misleading information circulating online."
