KUALA LUMPUR: The government is always open to receiving views and suggestions from various parties as part of efforts to strengthen the country’s online ecosystem, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
The Communications Minister said concern towards online business conduct is extremely crucial to ensuring the interests of users are always protected.
“It is also to ensure fair and healthy competition in the digital economy,” he posted on Facebook.
Fahmi, who is also the government spokesman, said he received a memorandum from Petaling Jaya MP Lee Chean Chung outside Dewan Rakyat here yesterday regarding a proposal for a more integrated mechanism to monitor digital business conduct, Bernama reported.
He said that Lee’s proposal came amid the rapid development of social media and e-commerce platforms, such as WeChat, Xiaohongshu, Shopee Live and TikTok Shop, in the country.
