IPOH: A social media allegation about an animal carcass disposal site in Manjung, Lumut, is false, police said today.

A 16-second video posted on TikTok and Facebook, showing carcasses of dogs in a hole, did not display the full location of the site, said Manjung police chief Hasbullah Abd Rahman.

Comments on the Facebook post suggesting that the incident took place in Manjung are also suspected to be false. “The police are investigating the motive behind this incident,” he said in a statement.

He said a report about the video was lodged by a local government authority in Manjung last night.

“The report was made concerning the spread of false information by a TikTok user named ‘kyrildescobar’ and a Facebook user named ‘kyril pablo escobar.’”
