Claims of racial riots taking place this weekend are untrue, Deputy Inspector General of Police Mazlan Mansor said.
He said several audio recordings that have gone viral on social media claiming the racial riots will take place on Dec 7 and Dec 8 were created by unscrupulous parties with the intention of intimidating and provoking public outrage.
"As such, the police are advising the public not to use social media platforms and other communications networks to disseminate information that may provoke racial sentiments or touch religious sensitivity.
"The public is also advised to contact the police for verification purposes in the event of suspicious news," he said in a statement tonight.
