“There is a need for RTM, Bernama, and Japen to work closely to swiftly counter false information and baseless allegations because it can tarnish reputations and create a negative perception. This is not a political matter but a matter of national importance,” he said. For the same purpose, Fahmi when winding up the debate on the 12th Malaysia Plan Mid-Term Review in Parliament last Tuesday, also said the ministry may also discuss the proposal by a government backbencher Rodziah Ismail for RTM to have a daily review of false news.
In another development, Fahmi said the KKD will undertake improvements in the organisation of National Day and Malaysia Day celebrations for the year 2024 to make these historic events even more vibrant.
