Some jokes are better kept to yourself… 

The people behind Facebook page MGAG will be called up by the police for allegedly mocking Health director-general Tan Sri Dr. Noor Hisham Abdullah.

On Tuesday (6 October), a picture of DG Hisham holding a press conference from his house was edited in an allegedly “demeaning” manner and posted on the page.
