The government is currently examining proposals to create a new social media application specifically for the use of Malaysians. If this is true, it will be interesting to see how the government will execute it. So, what should you know about it?

According to Bernama, the matter was informed by the Minister of Communications Fahmi Fadzil as some of the social media application providers were found to be profiting from the people but failed to guarantee the safety of their users. Mentioning specifically, the Minister gave the example of Facebook which has made a profit of US600 million from users in Malaysia but did not ensure the safety of users in Malaysia.

"I see that they are not serious, so we have to study and have to see, it is not easy to develop a social media platform on your own, but there are some countries that have tried... we will look into it first," Minister of Communications Fahmi Fadzil.
We have yet to confirm other details
