CYBERJAYA: The Ministry of Communications will take action against several social media platforms over past incidents of cyberbullying, Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.

Fahmi expressed his dissatisfaction with how these platforms have addressed the issue.

"I don't think they particularly care...so, I have had enough. We will send a loud and clear message to these platforms. Stay tuned," he told the media at the National Month and Fly the Jalur Gemilang 2024 launch ceremony here today.

Fahmi said the decision to take action comes after discussions with three other ministries, namely, the Digital Ministry, the Home Ministry and the Prime Minister's Department (Law and Institutional Reform).
