‘Internet berpagar’ diperluas ke premis awam, IPTS di Selangor

Selangor's SKMM and government are teaming up to expand paid Internet access to public premises and private higher education institutions, according to Exco Agama Islam and Culture Innovation Selangor Fahmi Ngah. The move aims to counter the spread of negative information and ensure a safe digital experience during essential activities such as prayer or learning.

Implementing content filtering systems, similar to those in mosques to prevent children from playing online games during prayers, will be applied to IPTS and public residences as well. Fahmi highlighted the cybercrime issue, noting that 35,073 cyber fraud cases were recorded up to June, causing RM951.7 million in losses, with RM413.8 million coming from investment scams.

He urged the public to practice "tabayyun," or meticulous scrutiny before clicking, and "think before sharing," emphasizing the importance of AI technology in combating cyberbullying and fake accounts by employing automated keyword filtering and real-time monitoring.
