The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has released a special short film for Aidilfitri titled 19.5 Puasa di Kampom Pisam - Selamat Tenet Raya to raise public awareness about online scams.
Directed by Amen Khalid, the film tells the story of a small trader, Pak Jabit, played by Aziz M Osman, who is busy preparing for Hari Raya Aidilfitri at his stall while eagerly awaiting his children’s return home.
However, his joy turns to sorrow when he falls victim to a scam after receiving a suspicious message, resulting in the loss of his entire savings.
The incident not only derails his festive preparations but also delivers a heavy emotional toll, as his hard-earned savings vanish in an instant.
Pak Jabit is later supported by his family and the villagers, who come together to help him recover and rebuild his business.
The narrative highlights the strength of community bonds while warning of the growing dangers of cybercrime.
The special film serves as a reminder from MCMC for the public to remain wary of unknown messages or links, especially during the festive season when online activity spikes.
People are also advised not to share personal or financial information and to always verify the authenticity of any information before taking action.
This initiative is part of MCMC’s ongoing efforts to strengthen digital safety awareness, highlighting that even a single careless click can result in significant losses.
The film also features well-known actors such as Bell Ngasri, Kazar Saisi, Joey Daud and several others. – Bernama
