00:00I also noticed that at the bottom of the Kementer Komunikasi, especially MCMC,

00:06that today, specifically 8216 schools and institutions have been assigned to a program of Internet Selamat campaign.

00:18Today, the Internet Selamat campaign is located in 58 schools,

00:23which, for me, is important for us to increase.

00:29There are more than 10,000 schools in the lower and middle of the country

00:34and this is a key source for the Kementer Internet Selamat campaign campaign

00:39because we can see that other problems of cyber, scam, pedophilia and sexual violence against children,

00:48that we must be trusted.

00:51So, with the level of the Kementer Internet Selamat campaign campaign campaign,

00:56I believe that in a long time, maybe in the first year of 2020,

01:01we will be able to finish all over 10,000 schools in the country.

01:08I also want to give a note that if we have a law that is enough to be able to handle the cyber problem,

01:18Pindaan kepada Kanun Kesiksaan, Pindaan kepada Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia,

01:24serta Akta Keselamatan Dalam Talian ataupun Online Safety Act

01:28yang akan berkuat kuasa, insyaAllah, 1 Januari 2026.

01:33Tapi, akhirnya, pengguna juga perlu mainkan peranan.

01:38Pesanan saya adalah kepada ibu bapa,

01:41untuk anak-anak bawah usia 16 tahun,

01:43sila jangan encourage ataupun jangan galakkan anak-anak untuk bermain media sosial.

01:52Kita harap menjelang tahun depan,

01:55platform-platform media sosial akan akur dengan keputusan kerajaan

02:00untuk melarang kanak-kanak bawah usia 16 tahun

02:04dari membuka akaun media sosial.

02:06Kita, selain daripada melalui Akta Keselamatan Dalam Talian

02:10dan Akta Komunikasi dan Multimedia,

02:15kerajaan juga sedang meneliti pelaksanaan

02:18had umur seperti yang dilakukan di Australia

02:22dan di beberapa negara yang lain,

02:25terutama dari segi mekanisme.

02:26Jadi, saya percaya sekiranya pihak kerajaan,

02:31badan-badan penguasaan dan ibu bapa

02:33semua mainkan peranan masing-masing,

02:36kita dapat pastikan internet di Malaysia

02:38bukan hanya laju, meluas dan murah,

02:42tapi paling penting selamat,

02:44terutama untuk kanak-kanak dan keluarga.

02:46Terima kasih telah menonton!
