Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad acknowledged that the Internet and social media platforms play a vital role in promoting openness and inclusivity but also warned that they are increasingly being abused.
"The Internet is increasingly being abused with the rising number of wrongdoings and offenses committed today, especially through the use of social media platforms,” he said at the opening of the newly expanded Facebook Malaysia office in Kuala Lumpur.
