Don't assume that you can get away scot-free, if you post harmful comments on social media live streams.  

The Communications Minister says many people wrongly believe that such messages simply disappear when the stream ends.  

But according to Fahmi Fadzil, police and MCMC can still identify these troublemakers,with the help of social media platforms.  

He said this amid the ongoing debate about cyberbullying.

However, cops are ready to reopen their investigation if they receive new reports or leads.
