He said further actions would be taken by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) after receiving the complete report from CSM.

"On the issue of MySejahtera (data leakage),...I have directed CSM to investigate thoroughly and detect who had really accessed the account of Super Admin for MySejahtera application.

"It is believed a large amount of personal data had been downloaded,” he said when winding up the debate on the motion of thanks for the royal address for the Communications and Digital Ministry (KKD) at Dewan Rakyat Thursday (Feb 23).
