Students advised on online etiquette. Internet not to scam, bully or harass: Fahmi
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 Text Size: Fahmi (third from left) engaging with SM St. Mary's students. PAPAR: The Safe Internet Campaign (Kempen Internet Selamat, KIS) plays a crucial role in strengthening digital literacy and awareness, especially among students, said Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil. He said the campaign reflects a strategic approach by the Ministry of Communications through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), which goes beyond internet access to focus on safe, ethical, and responsible internet use. 'We can use the internet, TikTok, WhatsApp but we must always be cautious. Don't use it to bully, to scam, or to harass others. 'I hope everything you learned today will be put into practice. And to the teachers, I urge you to be extra careful,' he said during an engagement with the SM St. Mary community in conjunction with the campaign. Fahmi explained that one initiative under KIS was to appoint Safe Internet Icons for schools. 'Each month, we will share the latest information on scams because we don't want even teachers to fall victim,' he added. At the event, Fahmi presented a Safe Internet Campaign poster to SM St. Mary principal Philip Chew, and awarded K-Dat Icon vests to Norzanidah Hazeyani Abdul Kini (teacher) and Faradira Haratio (student). The teacher icon is responsible for promoting online safety awareness within the school, while the student icon serves as a peer guide for safe, smart, and ethical internet use. Also present were Limbahau Assemblyman Datuk Juil Nuatim, Communications Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Mohamad Fauzi Md Isa, and MCMC Chief of State Affairs Bukhari Yahya. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Students share tips for staying safe on internet
Published on: Saturday, July 26, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jul 26, 2025 Text Size: Luqman (left) and Noah thrilled to receive posters signed by Fahmi. STAYING calm and ignoring negative comments is how Form 1 student Luqman Aziz Khairul Azizul avoids online conflict. Luqman, a student from the Bistari class at SM St. Mary, said he only browses the internet during his free time and prefers to focus on positive, useful content. 'I usually scroll through posts that are fun or motivational like DidikTV, funny videos, and entertainment. When I see negative or hateful comments, I just ignore them,' he said. He added that he recently switched from Instagram to TikTok, where he also shops for things like watches and clothes under his mother's supervision. His classmate, Noah Joseph Hannay from Form 1 Dinamik, who has had an Instagram account since Year 5, said he is aware of cyberbullying cases that have gone viral and views them as unethical. 'I don't post much. I mainly scroll through the latest updates on IG. I'm especially into K-pop content, something I picked up from my sister. Cyberbullying is wrong; we should just leave positive comments,' Noah said. Meanwhile, Form 3 student and K-Dat Icon vest recipient Faradira Haratio urged her peers to report any cases of bullying whether online or in school to their parents or teachers. 'For me, bullies need to be identified so they can be punished. Honestly, it makes me angry when people bully others. 'So I always tell friends who are being bullied not to stay silent. Speak up and report it to your parents or teachers,' said Faradira, who is also a school prefect and whose Instagram account is managed by her mother. All three students were visibly excited after receiving posters signed by Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil during the Kempen Keselamatan Internet (KIS) at SM St. Mary on Wednesday. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
