00:00The criminal case in Southeast Asia is still in the Telegram.
00:04So, maybe you can explain it.
00:07Yes, I recently had a meeting with and a two-party meeting
00:12with the French Ambassador to Malaysia,
00:15Mr. Axel Kroh,
00:18and our discussion also touched on the issue
00:22of the actions taken by the French,
00:25the French court, against the Telegram party,
00:29Pavel Durov,
00:31who has developed the application.
00:34And, among the things that have been informed,
00:37and also known in general,
00:39the Telegram party is now more prepared to cooperate
00:43with the authorities,
00:46the police,
00:48and even the government,
00:49in several matters.
00:52I see that, indeed, today,
00:55several types of crimes are still prevalent on the Telegram platform,
01:00such as investment scams,
01:03such as drug trafficking,
01:07and also aspects such as pornography,
01:12and sexual crimes against children,
01:14sexual material involving children.
01:17So, there are several elements that we ask the Telegram party
01:22to cooperate more.
01:24And, at the moment,
01:26the MCMC has held a series of meetings with the Telegram party,
01:29and we closely follow what is happening in France,
01:34and we hope that the Telegram party will also cooperate.
01:38At the moment, the government is not eager to stop,
01:41to arrest any staff from any social media platforms,
01:46including the messaging system on the internet,
01:51such as Telegram,
01:53on the condition that they cooperate well.
01:58As we all know,
02:00as of January 1, 2025,
02:02all social media platforms and internet messaging systems
02:06that have more than 8 million users in Malaysia
02:11are required to be licensed by the MCMC.
02:16So, as we follow the development,
02:21whether in France or in Brazil,
02:24we have also tried to discuss with social media platforms
02:32to develop a code of conduct
02:34that will be prepared, the first draft,
02:38at the end of October,
02:40so that we can give time to all social media platforms
02:43to discuss and clarify the contents of this code of conduct,
02:50and we give them time for the remaining two months of this year
02:55to register with the MCMC.
02:58Failure to register,
03:00if they meet the requirements,
03:02then there are several legal actions that can be taken.
03:06When will you meet with Telegram?
03:08The MCMC will hold a meeting
03:11maybe in this month.
03:15It has already been held.
03:17And next?
03:18The meeting and discussion will continue.
