PUTRAJAYA: The Online Safety Campaign is one of the flagship programmes of the Ministry of Communications this year, aimed at ensuring safer internet usage for all segments of society, said Minister Fahmi Fadzil.

He said that the Online Safety Campaign Roadshow, which was launched at Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) on Jan 21 will be expanded to primary and secondary schools.

“There must be a clear message to ensure that the internet is not just more affordable, more accessible, and faster but, most importantly, safer for our children and families,” he told reporters after attending the ministry's monthly assembly here today.

Also present were his deputy, Teo Nie Ching, the ministry’s secretary-general, Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, and the Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama) chief executive officer Datin Paduka Nur-ul Afida Kamaludin.

Fahmi said the campaign began with a focus on public universities (UA), targeting students from the Student Representative Councils (MPP), who are seen as capable of spreading the message of online safety throughout campuses nationwide.
