PETALING JAYA: Efforts to make the Internet safer, particularly for children and families, were presented to His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, on Monday (March 30).
Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil briefed His Majesty on the implementation of the Online Safety Act 2025 during an audience at Istana Bukit Tunku.
The Act aims to establish clear responsibilities for online platforms in ensuring safer digital spaces, especially for younger users.
It also includes the introduction of age verification mechanisms to restrict children under the age of 16 from opening social media accounts, as part of efforts to protect them.
Fahmi said the legislation would also address issues involving fake accounts targeting the Malay Rulers and their family members.
