SEREMBAN: Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Religious Affairs) Datuk Dr Mohd Na’im Mokhtar advised the public not to share pictures or videos of the victims of the tragic plane crash near Bandar Elmina in Shah Alam, Selangor yesterday.

He asked the public to respect the sensitivity of the victims’ families by not abusing the social media platform and prayed that they would be given strength to face the difficult test.

“We need to maintain etiquette when using social media.  We shall strive to preserve others’ aib (imperfection or shame) like we preserve our aib.

“My condolences to the families of the victims and we pray for them to be given patience for the loss of their loved ones,” he told reporters after handing over 15 sets of computers at Sekolah Menengah Sains Tuanku Aisha Rohani here today.

Yesterday, a Beechcraft Model 390 (Premier 1) aircraft crashed on the Guthrie Highway near Bandar Elmina resulting in the death of 10 individuals including Pahang Local Government, Housing, Environment and Green Technology Committee chairman Datuk Seri Johari Harun.
