KUALA LUMPUR: The government's intention to raise the minimum age limit for social media use to 16 years cannot be postponed any longer, but must be expedited as a strict control measure to curb the increasingly acute social ills among students.

The measure, which was previously only discussed in discourse, is now seen as an urgent need following various social problems involving the younger generation, including cases of bullying, fights, rape and most recently a murder case in schools.
