The facts
Muhyiddin called the claim a lie and asked for proof, and no record of him making the statement has been published. Anwar asked the communications regulator MCMC to verify his sources, said on 14 August 2025 that one of three had already been found inaccurate, and promised to apologise if the rest proved false. As of 9 September 2025 MCMC had sent initial findings on a TikTok video to the deputy public prosecutor and was still awaiting data from TikTok.
