PETALING JAYA: Stricter laws and awareness programmes in schools are among the mechanisms that Malaysia can learn from other countries to protect children when they are online and on social media, experts say.

Social media platforms could also be mandated to show educational videos on how to keep children safe online when these apps are downloaded and installed, they added.
