Fahmi calls out Meta and X over their inaction on online safety
He highlighted TikTok as the only platform that has demonstrated a genuine commitment by voluntarily joining the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil speaks at a press conference following the Launch of the Ethical Guidelines for Reporting and Sharing Suicide-Related Content at Menara Star today. Photo by Bernama PETALING JAYA – Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has urged social media giants to play a more active role in curbing online harm, calling out Meta and X for failing to adequately address issues such as cyberbullying and suicide prevention. He highlighted TikTok as the only platform that has demonstrated a genuine commitment by voluntarily joining the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia (CMCF). Speaking at the launch of CMCF's guidelines on reporting and sharing suicide-related content, Fahmi criticised social media platforms that neglect their responsibility to mitigate online harm, including suicide-related issues. "We cannot have these social media platforms washing their hands of content that could also create online harm, particularly related to suicide," he said. He noted that despite outreach efforts by CMCF to involve major players like Meta and X, these companies have not engaged with the forum. In contrast, TikTok proactively joined the CMCF even before the implementation of the government's licensing framework for social media and online messaging services. Fahmi singled out Facebook, urging the platform to recognise that the CMCF is an industry-led initiative, not a government directive, and that participation would benefit them by fostering best practices and codes of conduct. "I wholeheartedly applaud TikTok's approach in voluntarily becoming a member of the Content Forum. For example, Facebook said that they are going to be licensed, but they must understand that the Content Forum is not government-led. "It's industry-led. It's actually in their interest to participate so they can help develop best practices and codes of conduct," he added. The minister also pointed out the alarming financial toll of online scams, which cost Malaysians RM53.88 billion in 2024, equivalent to three per cent of the nation's GDP. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil (second from left) speaks at a press conference after the Launch Ceremony of the Ethical Guidelines for Reporting and Sharing Suicide-Related Content at Menara Star today. Also present was the Chairman of the Communications and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia, Rafiq Razali (left). Photo for Bernama Fahmi urged vernacular media outlets to play an active role in suicide prevention efforts by providing mental health resources in multiple languages to ensure broad accessibility. "We need to reach out to the vernacular press. A lot of the content is in English, but our efforts must be understood in all languages," he stated. Journalists were also encouraged to follow the CMCF's guidelines when covering suicide-related stories, focusing on safeguarding the privacy of victims and their families while avoiding detailed reporting that could lead to imitative behaviour. 'Reporting about suicide is most sensitive and most harrowing for any journalist covering the tragedy. We should not divulge the location or the personality in such tragedies,' he added. Fahmi emphasised that the guidelines offer comprehensive advice for the digital ecosystem, including sharing personal experiences responsibly, avoiding trauma-triggering content, and connecting people to support services.

Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur rise in ICCA global rankings
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur have strengthened their global standing in the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) 2024 Country & City Rankings, reaffirming their position as premier destinations for international business events. The country hosted 129 international association meetings last year, moving up two spots to 31st in the global country rankings and holding firm at 9th place in the Asia Pacific, remaining within the region's Top 10. Kuala Lumpur also made impressive gains, jumping six places to 26th in the World City Rankings. "Malaysia and Kuala Lumpur's growing reputation reflects their compelling value proposition," said Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre's (the Centre) general manager John Burke. With Kuala Lumpur International Airport served by 79 airlines and visa-free access for 175 countries, Malaysia provides the great connectivity that global business events demand, he said in a statement. "On top of that, we have a mature supply chain aligned with global standards, wide English proficiency and a favourable exchange rate. Combined with its rich cultural heritage and natural assets, Malaysia is a competitive choice." According to the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau (MyCEB), business events are projected to contribute RM42.12 billion to the economy by 2030 and attract 5.9 million delegates. These events are expected to drive trade, boost tourism, and support job creation. The Centre was a key venue last year, hosting many of the city's 78 international association events. Owned by KLCC (Holdings) Sdn Bhd, a Petroliam Nasional Bhd subsidiary, the Centre is located beneath the Petronas Twin Towers in the KLCC precinct. It offers 34,000 sqm of flexible, purpose-built space with integrated facilities. Burke noted that with sustainability becoming a growing priority in global events, responsible and long-term growth will be vital.

Mexico to announce 'measures' next week if no deal on US metals tariffs
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum walks along with Mexico's Defense Minister Ricardo Trevilla Trejo during the inauguration of the Mexico Aerospace Fair (FAMEX) 2025 at the Santa Lucia military airbase in Zumpango, near Mexico City, Mexico April 22, 2025 REUTERS/Raquel Cunha/File Photo (Reuters) - Mexico will announce measures next week if there is no agreement reached with the United States on the steel and aluminum tariffs announced, president Claudia Sheinbaum said Wednesday. She also called the U.S. announcement to raise the metals' tariffs to 50% from the 25% introduce in March an "unfair measure" during her morning conference, citing the free trade agreement Mexico and Canada share with the United Sates. Sheinbaum however said that Mexico's response would not be "an eye for an eye." "It is not a matter of revenge, or retaliation as they call it in English," she said. "It is a matter of protecting our jobs and our businesses." U.S. President Donald Trump had late on Tuesday signed an executive proclamation activating the tariffs starting Wednesday. The Trump administration also wants countries to provide their "best offers" to avoid other punishing import levies from taking effect in early July, according to a draft letter to negotiating partners seen by Reuters. Economy Minister Marcelo Ebrard is set to hold talks with high-level U.S. officials this week, Sheinbaum said. (Reporting by Raul Cortes; Editing by Aida Pelaez-Fernandez; Editing by Sarah Morland)
