Fahmi launches northern region's online safety campaign initiative
LANGKAWI: Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil today officiated the northern region's safe Internet campaign at Sekolah Kebangsaan Ulu Melaka, an initiative aimed at strengthening online safety and building a resilient digital community.
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) in a statement today said the campaign received an encouraging response with over 1,800 participants, comprising students from 22 schools, educators, parents, community leaders and representatives from relevant agencies.
"It is part of the government's ongoing efforts to enhance digital literacy among Malaysians, particularly the younger generation, in tackling online risks such as cyberbullying, scams, online gambling and the exploitation of children," according to the MCMC.
Over 100,000 participants across the northern states of Perlis, Kedah, Penang and Perak are expected to take part in the campaign throughout the year.
Among the activities lined up were interactive sessions based on the Internet Safety Module tailored for children under 13, briefings for teachers and parents, a Choral Speaking competition themed around internet safety, and a "Menu Viral"{ competition, which promotes responsible online sharing under the 3S principle which is Semak Sebelum Sebar (Check Before Sharing).
Also present at the launch were Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, MCMC Commissioner Gen (Rtd) Tan Sri Dato' Sri Zulkifeli Mohd Zin, Kedah State Education Department's deputy director of Pupil Development Sector Tuan Haji Mohd Kamil Haji Hashim, and headmaster of Sekolah Kebangsaan Ulu Melaka, Encik Rizal Mohd Yusof.

Aidiladha sacrifice strengthens community ties, says Fahmi
KUALA LUMPUR: The Aidiladha sacrificial rite not only fulfils religious obligations but also serves as a means to strengthen ties among the people and government agencies, said Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the practice highlights the spirit of unity and reinforces bonds among people from various backgrounds. "I saw a very joyful atmosphere, with children, RTM staff and representatives from IPPTAR (Tun Abdul Razak Broadcasting and Information Institute) all coming together to take part in the sacrificial ritual. "I hope that initiatives like this will continue to strengthen the bonds among us, Insya-Allah," he told reporters at RTM's Aidiladha sacrificial event held at Masjid Muhammadi, Angkasapuri, today. A total of 13 cows were sacrificed, contributed by RTM staff and members of the mosque's committee, including one from Fahmi himself for the programme. Fahmi, who is also the Lembah Pantai member of parliament, said his parliamentary office had distributed 76 sacrificial cows to residents in the constituency. "Outside Lembah Pantai, another five cows were sacrificed through the efforts of our team. Alhamdulillah, this reflects the strong cooperation within the community," he said. He also reaffirmed his commitment to supporting similar programmes in the future, as they have proven effective in fostering unity among the people. Meanwhile, Masjid Muhammadi Angkasapuri chairman Datuk Mohamed Irwan Mansor said more than 200 individuals participated in the mosque's sacrificial event. "Alhamdulillah, the sacrificial rites were successfully carried out with the involvement of people from all walks of life, including youth, women and children who added to the festive atmosphere," he said. The event also included the distribution of sacrificial meat to asnaf groups in the Angkasapuri area, identified by the mosque committee. "Distribution coupons were given out earlier to eligible recipients, and the meat will be handed over once the cutting process is completed," he said. He added that the annual programme not only strengthens bonds among staff and the local community but also provides direct benefits to those in need.
