00:00Yang berhormat Datuk, in just a moment, we will invite you to complete the launch gimmick

00:05by placing the final piece of the puzzle, simbolising the collective effort needed to address

00:11to communicate suicide related matters.

00:13Hari ini saya sangat berbangga dan sukacita untuk menunjukkan garis panduan

00:20bagi pelaporan yang bertanggungjawab terutama dalam isu-isu melibatkan

00:26berita tentang kes bunuh diri ataupun suicide.

00:34Ini satu perkara yang saya lihat telah diusahakan dengan baik oleh Content Forum

00:40ataupun CMCF yang merupakan satu gabungan yang diusahakan oleh industri sendiri.

00:48Harapan saya garis panduan ini dapat dihadam dan diamalkan oleh semua pihak.

00:54Kedua, kita perlu libatkan bukan sekadar media arus perdana, mainstream media

01:02tapi juga platform-platform media sosial.

01:07Kerana platform-platform ini maksudnya pengusaha seperti TikTok, Facebook dan yang lain

01:17mereka sendiri perlu faham bahawa sebarang perkara yang menjurus ke arah

01:25apa yang mungkin bukan kita sebut sebagai pelaporan, news report

01:31tapi dipaparkan, dipamerkan dalam platform-platform mereka

01:36perlu diambil satu tindakan.

01:40We cannot have these social media platforms washing their hands off of content

01:47that could also create online harm, particularly related to suicide.

01:55So, I've asked for the content forum to make sure that social media platforms are also participating

02:04and eventually become a member of the content forum.

02:08TikTok is a member

02:09but Facebook, Instagram are not.

02:15These are also places where an X as well.

02:19So, I've asked that these platforms be brought into

02:23and be members of the content forum.

02:27Baik, apa-apa soalan?

02:28Dato'k, have you asked Facebook and other social media

02:31to be part of the content forum?

02:33Yes, I have.

02:34Have they done it? No.

02:36Action.

02:38For a long time already.

02:41What is their excuse?

02:42They have many excuses.

02:46And what Puan Mediha, CEO of content forum said

02:50Facebook, for example, said that they are going to be licensed.

02:54But I want you to know that TikTok took a very early step

02:58even before we came up with the licensing regime

03:01for social media and online messaging systems

03:05TikTok voluntarily became a member of content forum

03:10very early on.

03:11I remember, I wholeheartedly applaud

03:14TikTok's approach to voluntarily be a member of a content forum.

03:21But Facebook, Instagram, X

03:25far from satisfactory.

03:29So, I will also communicate with them

03:31but they must understand that

03:34content forum is not government-led.

03:37It's industry-led.

03:38It's actually in their interest

03:39that they participate

03:41so that they can help to develop certain

03:44whether best practices,

03:48codes of conduct.

03:49And this, I think, is in their own interest.

03:52They should be participating.

03:53It's not a issue of the acta.

03:56So, I think that they can help me

03:58and I don't have to be able to do it.

03:59What kind of thing is that they do?

04:00What kind of thing is that they do?

04:01What kind of thing is that they do?

04:02What kind of thing is that they do?

04:04Is that it is not a issue of the acta?

04:06But as I see, I just came back to the Ministry of Communication, the Rantau Asia Pacific.

04:17We can see that in general, many countries in Rantau Asia Pacific, not only in ASEAN,

04:25have had a problem with social media.

04:27Most of the social media, many of the social media, they feel more than the Rantau Asia Pacific or Asia Pacific.

04:39So, it's not a issue of the Rantau Asia Pacific, but the issue of the Rantau Asia Pacific is that it is not a issue of the Rantau Asia Pacific.

04:54It's not a issue of the Rantau Asia Pacific, but it's not a issue of the Rantau Asia Pacific, but in many countries.

05:00I talk to my friends from Indonesia, from Australia, from Fiji, from Papua New Guinea, from Rantau Asia Pacific,

05:15many people have talked about it.

05:24I'm glad you say, okay.

05:30You
