  "summary": "The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) highlighted the importance of cross-border cooperation in addressing online threats during the Ministers-Regulators Roundtable Meeting (MRRM) held in conjunction with M360 Asean 2026. Participants agreed on the need for effective regulation, enhanced parental digital literacy, and greater platform accountability to build digital trust and protect children from online harms such as cybercrime, cyberbullying, and misuse of personal data. Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil emphasized that online harms do not stop at national borders and called for closer international cooperation among regulators and jurisdictions to tackle these issues collectively. The MRRM discussions aim to share regulatory experiences, identify effective approaches, and strengthen cooperation to better protect children online, with the ultimate goal of creating a safe and trusted digital ecosystem.",
