A doctored news article falsely claimed China was considering retracting investments in Malaysia 's northern Kedah state.

AFP found the article was manipulated to imitate the South China Morning Post , a Hong Kong -based newspaper.

As of November 11, 2024 , there were no official reports that China was set to retract investment in Malaysia .

The fabricated article surfaced after Chinese national flags were raised at a festival in Malaysia , prompting a backlash from Malay nationalists.
