00:01We have introduced the Cyber Safety Law.
00:05And recently, the Minister of Communications and Digital
00:10has issued an order to ensure that safety is guaranteed
00:18for both domestic and foreign citizens.
00:21And this will require some strict actions to monitor.
00:27And yesterday, I was asked about the concerns raised
00:32about whether this will restrict freedom.
00:35After all, this country is a democratic country.
00:40Freedom must be given for people to voice their views,
00:44whether they agree or deny or oppose.
00:49But there is a difference.
00:51Digital, cyber, and social media
01:00are used to incite people,
01:05so that some people commit suicide.
01:10Some people misuse it
01:14to incite small children to have sex.
01:22Is this normal?
01:26There is a scam that has reached more than 2.5 billion ringgit.
01:31The scam means that people are deceived
01:34using the convenience of social media.
01:39And when we say we must restrict,
01:41he said, don't restrict freedom.
01:43Is freedom to deceive?
01:45Is freedom to steal?
01:47Is freedom to incite people?
01:49I think people commit suicide.
01:51These are things that must be understood by the people.
01:54Therefore, in this question,
01:57safety, self,
01:59in terms of Sharia, this is one of the main questions.
02:03The question of the value and dignity of people
02:05must be given priority.
