MOH speaks out after they were mistakenly accused of criticizing viral ‘APT.’ song

The Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) received some heat online after a famous Korean pop culture site called them out for criticising the ‘APT.’ song. In their article, the site reported that MOH had raised concerns about the viral song being inappropriate, especially for children.
