KUALA LUMPUR: The Online Safety Campaign Roadshow, aimed at raising awareness about internet safety will be implemented in over 10,000 public schools and universities nationwide.
The Communications Ministry in a statement Tuesday (Feb 11) said the roadshow, initiated by the ministry, was being rolled out by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
According to the statement issued in conjunction with Safer Internet Day 2025 celebrated today, the campaign will be expanded within communities to empower the public with knowledge about online safety.
"The Madani government will continue to strengthen online safety and provide a safer digital space for all Malaysians," the statement said.
A key focus of the campaign is to ensure that children under 13 are not allowed to have social media accounts and that parents or guardians supervise internet usage.
