KOTA KINABALU: Netizens, particularly youths, have been warned to be wary of “two-minute professors” - political influencers who comment without proper understanding or experience.
Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (Gagasan Rakyat) Secretary-General Datuk Razali Razi (pic) said many such individuals exploit social media for income despite lacking grassroots involvement or policy knowledge.
Razali, a lawyer, revealed that the party is considering legal action against certain online commentators whom he accused of spreading misinformation for clout.

Razali also called on aspiring commentators to act responsibly and ensure the information they share, especially on politics, religion, and medicine, is accurate and well-researched.
