He said Cyber Security Malaysia has been asked to scrutinise several aspects relating to security issues involving the use of social media applications at all government offices and agencies. "I have asked CSM to scrutinise all social media applications because we don’t want any violation of the Official Secrets Act, especially when the administrative officers are handling classified documents. So, the security aspect is really important.
Noting that some countries had already advanced in security aspects, Fahmi said his ministry will study the basis, as well as decisions made, so as to ensure that everything can be easily understood and adopted in the Malaysian context or at least provide suitable options.
