Local media report taken out of context in misleading posts about crude palm oil tax
78% Informative
Malaysia has no plans to implement a tax on crude palm oil in the near future, its finance ministry told AFP .
Social media posts shared a headline by a local newspaper out of context -- it was a report on an NGO 's opinion and not a government proposal.
The claim surfaced as Malaysia experienced a shortage of bottled cooking oil, which authorities attributed to an increase in global palm oil prices.
