00:00Communications Minister Fahmy Fadzil has denied META's claim that the government's social
00:06media licence plan lacks clear guidelines.
00:11Fahmy said the government has been in discussion with META regarding the new licence requirements
00:16since earlier this year.
00:19Fahmy said META officials are giving excuses, but he would not compromise on the safety
00:23of Malaysians.
00:26Yesterday, META criticised Malaysia's plan to require social media platforms to apply
00:31for a regulatory licence by January.
00:35META said the plan lacked clear guidelines and gave these companies little time to comply.
00:42In June, Putrajaya said it will require social media platforms with more than 8 million users
00:47in the country to obtain a licence.
00:50Fahmy also said the government cannot extend its implementation timeline as doing so will
00:55provide criminals the opportunity to operate on META platforms.
