KUALA LUMPUR, May 30 — Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s administration has been urged to do more to curb the escalation of harmful narratives and hate speech in the wake of ethnic and religious-based narratives being incited on social media.
However, she said policy makers must ensure that any measures adopted to combat hate speech do not unduly impair freedom of expression and speech. It stresses the collective responsibility of State officials, religious and community leaders, the media, civil society and all individuals to nurture social unity, tolerance and dialogue to prevent incitement to hatred.
Wathshlah also said the media played a pivotal role in guarding against the propagation of hate speech but taking on the responsibility of providing counter amplification to combat the proliferation of messages of intolerance or expressions which may incite violence, hostility, or discrimination against others.“Continue ethical and responsible journalistic practices as the standard bearer of facts and the watchdog of democracy.
