Online Safety Campaign Roadshow, which was launched at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) on Jan 21 will be expanded to primary and secondary schools.
: The Online Safety Campaign is one of the flagship programmes of the Ministry of Communications this year, aimed at ensuring safer internet usage for all segments of society, said Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
“There must be a clear message to ensure that the internet is not just more affordable, more accessible, and faster but, most importantly, safer for our children and families,” he told reporters after attending the ministry’s monthly assembly here today. Fahmi said the campaign began with a focus on public universities , targeting students from the Student Representative Councils , who are seen as capable of spreading the message of online safety throughout campuses nationwide.
“I hope that the message for children under 13 at primary schools would be to “Say No to Social Media”, while for those at secondary schools, the focus should be on safe internet usage to avoid becoming victims of scams or paedophilia, for them to use the internet, especially social media, safely and wisely,” he said.
