Fahmi kecam tindakan buli, ugut mahasiswa UM kerana suara pandangan

Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil has condemned the bullying and trolling behavior of a Universiti Malaya (UM) student who expressed his opinions at a recent forum with new Umno leader's speech. During the event, the student questioned the actions of many people helping former Prime Minister Najib Razak to pay a RM50 million court fine.

Fahmi emphasized that the student's act of expressing his opinions at the forum does not violate any laws, as it does not amount to a crime. The minister advised all cyberbullying victims to promptly report the incident to the police and Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) so that the authorities can identify the perpetrators and take legal action.

SKMM will investigate the steps that can be taken regarding this matter and emphasized its proactive approach, not just waiting for reports. Fahmi also urged the people of Malaysia to respect communication etiquette when using social media, as the public should not consider online content harmless without potential implications, even when using accounts that may seem fake.
