00:00And the third thing that I have informed the Prime Minister is about the desire or suggestion
00:13to hold a national campaign to raise awareness about safety in the Belt and Road,
00:24but among the modules that will be raised and brought to the whole country is the safety of cyberbullying.
00:33This is an important thing. If we look at it, we do not only want to deal with the issue of cyberbullying,
00:40but we want to make sure that the faster, cheaper and wider internet can also be used more safely,
00:48especially by children and their families.
00:51In this effort, we will work with all relevant ministries, including the Ministry of Digital,
01:00Ministry of Women's Development, Ministry of Family and Community, Ministry of Coordination,
01:06and of course the Ministry of Home Affairs.
01:09In fact, in a meeting in the parliament a few days ago, a representative of the PDRM also stated
01:18that every school has police officers, and we will also make use of the presence of these police officers
01:26to provide assurances on the issue of cyberbullying and safety in the Belt and Road,
01:32especially for students in schools.
01:35And among the issues or things that will be highlighted in this campaign,
01:43the first is cyberbullying, the second is the issue of scams,
01:49the third is the issue of personal data security,
01:54and the fourth is related to a few other issues that will be highlighted
02:05after we hold a meeting next week.
02:10So this will be handled by the Ministry of Communications through MCMC,
02:15and we will work together with all the ministries that I mentioned earlier.
