Nearly 9,000 banners taken down in MBDK's fight against illegal adverts
MBDK personnel removing illegal advertisements on a lamp post in Klang. — KK SHAM/The Star KLANG Royal City Council (MBDK) has removed 8,850 illegal banners, bunting and posters – placed on trees, lamp posts, traffic lights and road signs – so far this year. MBDK Corporate Communi-cations Department director Norfiza Mahfiz said most of these advertisements involved property sale, transport rental, household renovations and moneylending services. 'Out of these illegal advertisements, 4,713 were unlicensed moneylenders or 'ah long' posters,' she said after an operation to remove illegal bunting near Jalan Tepi Sungai in the city. Norfiza said 60 phone numbers of loan sharks had been handed over to Malaysia Communications and Multi-media Commission (MCMC), which could terminate them under Section 263 (2) of Communications and Multimedia Act 1998. She said MBDK had a unit that went out each day to remove unlicensed advertisements, which marred the royal city's image and damaged trees. 'When a report is made about illegal advertisements, our enforcement team will respond within an hour or two,' said Norfiza. Last year, MBDK removed 11,587 illegal banners and bunting, including 5,087 loan shark-related advertisements, with 89 phone numbers referred to MCMC. Norfiza said the city council had also issued compounds to 117 businesses in relation to illegal advertisements up to July, following 98 operations. 'Advertisement By-law 2007 states that no person may erect any advertising sign or banner without prior written approval of MBDK. 'Owners of illegal advertisements could also be compounded up to RM1,000,' she said. Norfiza said flagrant disregard for the by-law also placed motorists at risk. 'Bunting tied to poles at traffic intersections obstruct motorists' view.' She added that these advertisements also hampered the view of pedestrians attempting to cross roads.

No plans to scrap Mobile Phone Data initiative
Talking tech: Fahmi visiting one of the booths at the International Connectivity Conference Expo in Kuala Lumpur. — RAJA FAISAL HISHAN/The Star PUTRAJAYA has no plans to scrap the Mobile Phone Data (MPD) initiative, as no privacy violations have occurred, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil. He said the MPD is in line with Cabinet decisions, local laws and international standards. 'All necessary safety measures have been implemented and the government remains open to improving security mechanisms while continuously monitoring the initiative to maintain public confidence,' Fahmi said in response to Datuk Mohd Suhaimi Abdullah (PN-Langkawi) who asked whether the initiative would be cancelled. Fahmi clarified that the MPD did not involve personally identifiable information and the data provided by mobile network operators (MNOs) was not classified as personal data under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010. He also noted that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), Statistics Department and MNOs held a media briefing on June 9 to explain the initiative. 'The MCMC is aware of public concerns over privacy. However, the data shared by the MNOs is aggregated statistical output, not individual data. 'These statistics are processed internally in a secure environment before being shared with the MCMC,' Fahmi said. He added that MPD provided accurate, granular and near real-time data to support policy planning in telecommunications and tourism, including a focus on Langkawi, in line with the initiative's original mandate. Earlier last month, the MCMC clarified that MNOs are only required to provide eight types of data for the MPD, none of which included names, MyKad numbers or phone numbers. Mobile station international subscriber directory numbers, unique IDs and location data such as latitude and longitude are among the data collected.

Fahmi urges ethical use of AI, highlights need for inclusive connectivity
KUALA LUMPUR: Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has called for the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI) and stressed the importance of inclusive digital connectivity at the International Connectivity Conference and Expo today. In his keynote address, Fahmi warned against the misuse of emerging technologies, underscoring that digital tools must ultimately serve humanity's best interests. "The human mind must remain central, even as AI advances," he said. "When it comes to scammers, they aim to steal, damage, harm and exploit. That's where ethics must come in." Fahmi began his address by highlighting the rapid digital transformation across all sectors, led by a generation raised in the digital era. "What is the point of connectivity if you're not connecting people as a group?" he asked, stressing that inclusivity must remain at the heart of the nation's digital agenda. He said the accelerating adoption of emerging technologies, including satellite systems capable of connecting directly to mobile phones. To support this shift, he said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is considering moving from a single-channel to a dual-channel digital system to enable more interactive, real-time engagement across platforms. On the ethical implications of AI, Fahmi cited the risk of misinformation generated by AI tools. He gave an example of how a prompt could mislead ChatGPT or other AI engines into providing inaccurate information, such as incorrectly identifying Malaysia's 11th prime minister, describing the phenomenon as an AI "hallucination". Fahmi also emphasised Malaysia's progress in digital infrastructure, noting that the country has reached 80 per cent 5G network adoption. He compared this to South Korea, which took five years to achieve a similar milestone despite being an early adopter of the technology. He said that interconnectivity is not merely about technology, but about linking communities and creating shared progress. Fahmi reaffirmed the Madani government's commitment to prioritising human values in the face of digital disruption. "It is our collective responsibility to ensure that AI is not used to bring suffering, but rather to support the well-being and progress of humanity," he said. "Not to create famine and misfortune for humankind."
