KUALA LUMPUR: Four Ramadan bazaars in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor have been selected as venues for the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) Advocacy Campaign throughout this Ramadan, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

The Communications Minister said the campaign aims to raise awareness across all segments of society about internet safety, leveraging the high foot traffic at these bazaars.

"As part of this advocacy, we want to emphasise that children under 13 should not be on social media or have TikTok accounts. We are also promoting the use of the AIFA (Artificial Intelligence Fact-check Assistant) chatbot to verify the authenticity of news," he said.

"Today, the Wangsa Maju Ramadan Bazaar is the first location. We are also sharing messages on how to avoid falling victim to scams and ensuring children's online safety," he added, without specifying the other three bazaar locations.

He was speaking to newsmen after attending the MCMC Advocacy Campaign at the Wangsa Maju Ramadan Bazaar, which was also attended by Wangsa Maju MP Zahir Hassan.

Fahmi said traders would also benefit from the campaign, as all 7,300 Ramadan bazaar trading lots in Kuala Lumpur have been given RM100 in assistance.

He also confirmed that the Online Safety Campaign Tour, which he launched on Jan 21, will continue after Hari Raya Aidilfitri, reaching schools, higher education institutions and teacher training institutes. - Bernama
