Parents urged to monitor children on social media to curb IS influence

KUALA LUMPUR: In addition to action by the Government, the fight against the Islamic State (IS) militant group must also be taken up at home, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

In his address to Malaysian military personnel and representatives from South East Asia at the Malaysian Armed Forces Defence College (MPAT) on Monday morning, Hishammuddin said that parents play an important role in stopping IS recruitment by monitoring the websites that their children frequent.
