Education minister Fadhlina Sidek said the sharing of explicit and immoral content must be curbed.

“These pages must be reported immediately and the appropriate action taken,” she said in a statement.

The minister also urged parents to play a proactive role at home by educating and protecting their children from sexual threats, saying they are responsible for safeguarding the dignity and well-being of their children.

Fadhlina added that all educational institutions under the ministry are required to adhere to the guidelines for addressing sexual harassment issues.

“Psychosocial support services must also be continuously strengthened to provide the necessary support to affected students,” she said.

Fadhlina added that the teaching hours allocated for the Reproductive and Social Health Education module would be increased under the 2027 school curriculum framework.

Yesterday, influencer Wee Yun Nee, better known as Mekyun, filed a police report after discovering a Facebook group which had posted, among others, pictures of her younger self.

She urged children not to be afraid to inform their parents if they are similarly harassed.

On Wednesday, Malaysiakini reported Wee as saying she became aware of such groups after followers informed her that an image of her younger self in a baju kurung school uniform was being circulated.

Wanita PKR meanwhile called for swift action against those who perpetrated sexual crimes against minors after the discovery of a Facebook group known as “Group Budak2 Sekolah Rendah”.

The page, now inaccessible, had over 12,000 members and many explicitly sexual comments and captions on its photos.

The images included underage students wearing primary and secondary school uniforms, traditional wear, sports attire, and casual clothing.

The issue came to light after rapper Ariz Ramli, better known as Caprice, was notified of the group’s existence via an Instagram message. The group was then reported to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission as well as the police.
