1Gbps internet means nothing if scammers keep up: Fahmi
CYBERJAYA – Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil has warned that high-speed internet access is meaningless if Malaysians remain exposed to online scams, cyberbullying, and harmful content — particularly among children.
“There’s no point having lightning-fast internet at 1Gbps if scammers can reach you just as quickly,” he said at the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) 2025 celebration here today.
Fahmi said he has directed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to intensify its Kempen Internet Selamat — a national awareness campaign promoting safer internet practices, especially among children and teenagers.
“We talk about expanding internet access to everyone, including the Orang Asli community, but with it comes the darker side of the internet,” he said.
“At present, there are far too many scam ads, online gambling promotions, and fake health endorsements — and not nearly enough action to remove them.”
Fahmi cited the recent case of celebrity eye specialist Dr Muhaya Mohamad, whose image was misused to promote unverified health products online.
“She even received a warning from the Ministry of Health for something she had no part. That should never happen — and platforms like Facebook must be held accountable.”
