He said this was necessary as more Malaysians were grappling with social media issues, such as scams, the dissemination of fake news, and cyberbullying, which have led to suicides.

“From now on, all social media platforms must take responsibility,” he said at the Jiwa Merdeka programme today.

“God willing, we will take very firm action within the next few days.

“This is to ensure everyone’s safety, especially children and families.”

Fahmi also called on the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to “do something” about the rising social media issues affecting Malaysians.

“Tan Sri (MCMC chairman Salim Fateh Din), in front of everyone, including the prime minister (Anwar Ibrahim) and the chief secretary (Zuki Ali), I instruct you to do something about it,” he said.

Fahmi previously voiced disappointment over the RM100 fine imposed for the cyberbullying of TikTok influencer A Rajeswary, who reportedly took her own life.

P Shalini was slapped with the fine after pleading guilty to engaging in insulting behaviour with the intention of inciting anger and disrupting peace.

Rajeswary, a Hindu rights activist also known as Esha, was found dead at her home in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, on July 5, a day after lodging a police report against two people for alleged harassment on TikTok.

Fahmi had also said he was reviewing how the MCMC takes action against those who make offensive comments on social media, particularly on live broadcasting platforms such as TikTok.
