If you&rsquo;re one to keep up with the things that go on X (formally Twitter), you&rsquo;ll know that there may be a bit of a familiar name popping out on your timeline every once in a while, when the topic of Palestine and Israel comes into question.
That name is Ian Miles Cheong who&rsquo;s managed to make headlines in the news from time to time for his controversial comments.
Who Exactly Is Ian Miles Cheong?

Cheong, a resident of Ipoh, Malaysia, has become a notable figure on Twitter due to his extensive commentary on American politics. Formerly a gaming journalist and Reddit moderator, he has risen to prominence as a prominent right-wing commentator. Associated with the Canadian news organization Rebel News, Cheong actively participates in discussions about American and European politics, attracting high-profile followers such as Elon Musk.
Interestingly, despite being Malaysian, Cheong exclusively focuses on American and European political discourse and avoids delving into Malaysian political commentary. This has surprised many local followers, as Cheong, reportedly, has never ventured outside the country. The revelation about his Malaysian roots has sparked interest in his background and the trajectory that led him to become a well-known online political commentator.
A Twitter thread by the account Censored Men provides additional insights into Ian's background and his career as a political influencer. According to the user, Ian's emphasis on Western politics is driven by financial motives, recognizing the greater profitability in writing about American politics compared to Malaysian politics, which does not directly impact him. Beyond the controversial tweet, Ian is accused of engaging in various illicit activities throughout his online career. Censored Men alleges that Ian has a history of doxxing, fabricating false allegations of rape and murder, and submitting baseless police reports without evidence.

Censored Men also delves into Ian's tweets expressing support for Israel, proposing that his motivation might be more financial than personal. Allegations suggest that Ian may have shared these tweets as a result of his affiliation with Rebel News, a Canadian news organization that leans to the right and supports Israel.

On October 7, 2023, Cheong posted a tweet stating that Israel had the right to defend itself following a Hamas attack, contributing to the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict. However, this specific tweet has recently been removed from his Twitter account, and there are suspicions that a local police investigation may be underway.

Rumours Of Being Executed
Due to the controversy sparked by his tweets, rumours circulating among Americans suggest that Ian Miles Cheong is facing execution by the Malaysian government. Unsubstantiated claims on American social media allege that this execution was ordered by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

Additional users on the application joined in, amplifying the spread of false information across the social media platform. However, it has been verified that there are no directives for executing Ian Miles Cheong, as Malaysia lacks any laws permitting execution based on expressing opinions on social media.

Seriously. I can&rsquo;t even take a nap without waking up to some nonsense. I&rsquo;ve gotten numerous death threats from far-left transgender activists upset about my reporting on their activities though so that&rsquo;s&hellip; fun. <a href="https://t.co/64xX1aJjUy">https://t.co/64xX1aJjUy</a>
