Nearly 38,000 false posts and 8,000 3R-related contents taken down in three years
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has requested to remove nearly 38,000 false contents and 8,000 posts related to race, religion and royalty (3R) from social media platforms in a three year period. Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said th ministry takes the issue of the spread of false information on social media seriously, especially when it involves attempts to manipulate sentiments related to the race, religion, and royalty (3R) by irresponsible parties, including political troll accounts. "From Jan 1, 2022 to July 1, 2025, a total of 7,846 3R-related contents and 37,845 false contents were removed by platform providers at MCMC's request under Section 233 (for improper use of network facilities or services) of the Communications and Multimedia Act. "Each removal action is carried out based on existing legislation, regardless of the political background or beliefs of the individual, to ensure that freedom of speech is not abused. "The final assessment is also subject to the platform providers according to their community guidelines," he said in a written reply to Kampar member of Parliament Chong Zhemin. He said the MCMC works closely with the police to enforce the Communications and Multimedia Act and other existing laws. "Action can be taken against any individual under Section 233 under the Communications and Multimedia Act who misuses application services, including social media, to create and disseminate false or extremely offensive content with the intent, among others, to hurt, harass, or disturb others. "To further strengthen online safety, Fahmi said MCMC had introduced licensing requirements for internet messaging and social media service providers to obtain the Application Service Provider Class License, effective Jan 1, 2025," he said. Fahmi also said to mitigate online harms, service providers are encouraged to adopt the Code of Conduct (Best Practices) for Internet Messaging and Social Media Service Providers, which was issued by MCMC on Dec 20, 2024.

Saudi Arabia's ranking on Mining Investment Attractiveness Index jumps to 23rd from 104th globally
RIYADH — Saudi Arabia's mining sector has achieved a major global milestone, jumping its ranking from 104th in 2013 to 23rd in 2024 on the Investment Attractiveness Index. Saudi Arabia surpassed major mining destinations in Asia and Latin America in the index, prepared by Fraser Institute in its 2024 Annual Survey of Mining Companies. This achievement solidifies Saudi Arabia's position as one of the world's fastest-rising powers in the mining sector. According to the report, Saudi Arabia made remarkable progress in the Policy Perception Index, rising from 82nd globally in 2013 to 20th in 2024, reflecting growing international confidence in its stable regulatory environment. The Best Practices Mineral Potential Index saw an unprecedented leap, moving from 58th in 2013 to 24th in 2024, underscoring the scale of the Kingdom's vast and untapped mineral wealth, supported by ongoing geological surveys, discoveries, and widely attended mining licensing rounds. Commending the remarkable achievement, Deputy Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources for Mining Affairs Eng. Khalid Al-Mudaifer said: "This outstanding performance reflects the structural transformation and holistic efforts being driven across the mining and mineral sector under Vision 2030." Over the past few years, Saudi Arabia has built a globally competitive investment environment, underpinned by clear regulations, accessible geological data, including one of the most extensive geological surveys of the Arabian Shield, competitive incentives, and world-class infrastructure. "Our focus remains on maximizing the economic value of our mineral resources, creating jobs for citizens, and localizing supply chains. Mining is no longer a traditional sector; rather, it has become a key driver of industrial and economic growth, and we are committed to building on this momentum to ensure sustainable success," he said. The Fraser Institute noted that Saudi Arabia's success was driven by broad regulatory transformations covering security of tenure, taxation, environmental legislation, infrastructure, and community engagement. These efforts enabled Saudi Arabia to enter the top quartile of the index for the first time. The report also highlighted that investors expressed no concerns regarding political stability—one of the Kingdom's key strengths—and praised the Mining Exploration Enablement Program as an effective tool for reducing investment risks and increasing confidence in early-stage projects. According to the report's data, the Kingdom has achieved exceptional improvements in key indicators between 2013 and 2024, including 305.8 percent improvement in the clarity and effectiveness of mining administration, from 17 percent in 2013 to 69 percent in 2024, ranking 11th globally; 82.2 percent improvement in clarity of land use for mining activities, from 45 percent in 2013 to 82 percent in 2024, ranking 7th globally; 102.2 percent improvement in labor regulations, from 45 percent in 2013 to 91 percent in 2024; and 81.8 percent improvement in the quality of geological databases, from 33 percent in 2013 to 60 percent in 2024. The report praised the Kingdom's stable regulatory environment and ambitious reforms, which have strengthened international investor confidence and solidified Saudi Arabia's status as a world-class mining investment destination—fully aligned with Vision 2030's goal of diversifying the economy and developing strategic sectors. The Fraser Institute's Annual Survey of Mining Companies is one of the world's most trusted benchmarks for evaluating mining investment environments and is widely used by investors, governments, and financial institutions worldwide. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette.

Olney Police Department celebrates new building with ribbon cutting
OLNEY, TX (KFDX/KJTL) — On Monday, May 19, the Olney Police Department was out with the old and in with the new. The department held a ribbon-cutting to showcase its new state-of-the-art building. 'The facility was extremely worn down, tired [and] failing,' Olney Police Chief Dan Birbeck said. 'So we were really honored to be able to get out of that and into a new, fresh environment.' Birbeck said the new project was about five years in the making. It allowed the department to improve its technology and the way its officers handle cases. 'In addition to a lot of upgrades, one of those was a new interview room that we now have, that we didn't have at the old facility. We have a new IT infrastructure where everything has got redundant systems to it, so we don't have to worry about it,' Birbeck said. 'We have an upgraded property and evidence system in storage. So, we meet best practices which was another goal of ours to be able to obtain Texas Police Chief Association Best Practices.' Birbeck said obtaining that accreditation from the TPCA would not have been possible without generous donors and community members. During the ceremony, the building was named after Miss Perry, a long-time contributor to the Olney community. It is located at 210 South Grand Avenue, so anyone can stop by and see it.
