The ​action arose ​from ​the circulation ‌of content associated with an account purporting to be linked to Malaysia's king Sultan Ibrahim, ‌which included ​material that ​was "grossly ​offensive, false, menacing ‌and insulting in ​nature", ​the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission said ​in ‌a statement.
