Ex-PM Ismail Sabri Yaakob calls for good cyberspace governance, and the creation of international institutions and legislation to protect digital technology users.
Speaking in Bangkok yesterday, former prime minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob called for the world to emulate Japan by formulating a policy which will allow humans to control digital technology.
“This concept was extended to the Asean family, and when speaking at the 77th UN General Assembly, I invited the international community to work together by practicing the spirit of a world family in facing global challenges,” he said. Acknowledging the many great strides made in the areas of business, education and everyday life, especially since the Covid-19 pandemic struck, Ismail said: “Even so, there are parties who abuse digital technology to the point of disturbing the security of human life.”
He said the world would do well to emulate the Society 5.0 concept, introduced by Japan in 2015, which emphasises the need for humans to control digital technology, adding that a balance must be struck between economic development and overcoming social problems.
