He said among the cooperation given included issues of online security such as scams and online gambling by taking down related content or channels. “But one of the problems we face is when one channel is closed, another channel is opened. Online gambling operators are often very creative. “So, we are also discussing more sustainable ways to combat scams and online gambling not only on the Telegram application but also on many other social media and online messaging applications,” he told reporters at an eye health screening programme in Lembah Pantai, here today.On March 2, Fahmi held a meeting with Telegram chief executive officer Pavel Durov in Dubai to discuss issues involving the social media platform, which has approximately 15 million users in Malaysia.
In addition to eye screenings using virtual reality technology, the programme also provided basic medical examinations, reflexology massages, and free haircuts. — Bernama
