Saifuddin Nasution reportedly sends legal letter over Facebook user's claims

Yahoo06-04-2025
KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 — Home Minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail has reportedly issued a letter of demand to a social media user over allegedly defamatory claims about the former's role in Kedah Darul Aman Football Club (KDA FC).
Free Malaysia Today (FMT) reported today that the social media user, identified as Zubair Ismail, had alleged in a March 26 Facebook post that Saifuddin instructed the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission and the Inland Revenue Board to investigate the club, which scared off potential sponsors.
Zubair was also said to have accused Saifuddin of trying to 'save' the team to boost his public image and later posted a related TikTok video.
Through law firm SN Nair & Partners, Saifuddin — who is Kedah Pakatan Harapan chief — reportedly demanded an apology within three working days or warned of legal action.
'Your careless, malicious, and baseless actions have left our client with no choice but to take legal action to defend his reputation and integrity,' the letter reportedly read.
The letter reportedly also claimed Zubair's posts had damaged Saifuddin's reputation, especially among football fans.
To note, Saifuddin has been engaging with KDA FC, which has reportedly not paid out salaries to its staff and players for 10 months.
Bernama reported last month that Saifuddin presented the team with RM200,000 that was raised with the support of three NGOs through a Hari Raya fund-raiser.

Notre Dame rival Michigan finds out its fate from NCAA on ‘sign gate' scandal

While Notre Dame hasn't played Michigan since 2019, they are still viewed as a big rival for the Irish. On Friday, as the season approaches, the NCAA announced the penalty for the Wolverines surrounding its intricate sign stealing accusations as reported by Pete Thamel. Michigan will be on four years probation, a $50,000 fine with 10% of the budget for the football program, a fine that equates to all postseason revenue share, along with another fine of 10% of the costs of scholarships awarded. The total amount of fines could be close to $30 million. There will also be a 25% reduction in official visits during the 2025 and 2026 seasons, and multiple people got show clauses including its former head coach Jim Harbaugh for 10-years, who now is in the NFL with the Los Angeles Chargers. He previously was given a 4-year show cause penalty in 2024 for a different case. Both Connor Stallions (8-years) and Denard Robinson (3-years) also received show clauses, while current head coach Sherrone Moore got a 2-year show-cause order, and added another game suspension making it 3-games total. The Wolverines picked the games that Moore will not coach, which doesn't make any sense, as they opted for Moore to miss games three and four, while the NCAA added the first game of the 2026 season. He's also not allowed to coach or be with the team during those suspension weeks. It seems like Michigan got off pretty easy on this one, as there was no bowl or College Football Playoff ban, along with not vacating any of their wins during that period. Once again the NCAA has a questionable ruling on a team breaking the rules, one that impacted many during a run where the Wolverines made the CFP twice, winning it in 2024. Do you agree with the sanctions? Or are they too light?

Louisiana sues Roblox, alleging platform enables child exploitation

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill has filed a lawsuit against the online gaming platform Roblox, accusing the company of enabling the distribution of child sexual abuse material and facilitating the sexual exploitation of children in the state. In a complaint filed in state court, Murrill's office says Roblox 'knowingly and intentionally fails to implement basic safety controls to protect child users from predators,' despite having 380 million active monthly users – more than half of whom are under 16. Nearly one-third are under the age of 13. Roblox launched in 2006 but did not begin reporting incidents of child exploitation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children until 2019 – 13 years later. Even after reporting began, the state says the numbers have been 'pitifully minor' compared to other major platforms. Roblox submitted 24,522 CyberTip reports over the past several years, while Facebook, Instagram, Google and Snapchat collectively averaged 3.5 million during the same period. According to Murrill, Roblox's reports account for less than 1% of the exploitation cases received in Louisiana over the past five years. In 2025, only 2.48% of CyberTips to Louisiana authorities came from Roblox. 'It is a rarity when Roblox actually does report child exploitation that occurs on their platform,' the lawsuit says, adding that the company's lack of age verification and safety protocols hinders law enforcement investigations. Murrill accused Roblox of prioritizing 'user growth, revenue, and profits over child safety,' warning parents about 'the clear and present danger posed to their children' by the platform. The lawsuit notes that Roblox does not require age verification or parental permission during sign-up, allowing predators to pose as children and minors to bypass age restrictions. The complaint cites a recent Livingston Parish case in which a suspect arrested for possessing child sexual abuse material was actively using Roblox and employing voice-altering technology to lure minors. The lawsuit also references a report revealing a Roblox group with over 3,300 members allegedly trading child pornography and soliciting sex acts from minors. Murrill said she supports new state measures like Rep. Kim Carver's Act 481, which requires app stores to verify users' ages and obtain parental permission for minors' downloads. She argued that both app store operators and app developers must share responsibility for protecting children. 'There are pretty clear tech tools that they could be using, and they are not,' Murrill said. 'Predators can't walk into a school or playground without getting arrested, but they can get just about anywhere on these apps and find your kids.' Louisiana's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force is assisting in such cases. It works with 50 sheriffs' offices, 11 police departments, the Louisiana State Police, the FBI, and Homeland Security, . The state is seeking permanent injunctive relief prohibiting Roblox from violating Louisiana's Unfair Trade Practices law, banning false claims about its safety measures, and ordering restitution to the state along with any additional civil damages allowed by law.
