Issues in social media licensing


I READ with interest the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission’s (MCMC) plan to licence social media platforms from Aug 1.

As a concerned citizen, I strongly believe in the need for a clear regulatory framework to maintain a safe online space, especially in the wake of a recent cyberbullying-linked tragedy.

When sirens sound on the road, safety must come first

Telephone number available but calls are not answered�
Onus is on the rakyat to protect themselves from the haze
