Be More Responsible In Using Social Media Wan Azizah
Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail (above) has advised the people to be more responsible in using social media to ensure that racial harmony in the country is not undermined
She pointed out that the influence of social media in the community could not be denied
"We can see now that the handphone seldom leaves our hand; that is also a medium which can spark all sorts of danger among races if it is abused,” she said
"We want our unity to be enhanced because it is our strength. Do not simply share everything you get (on social media); check first whether it is true or not,” she said when launching the Festival Merdeka #Perpaduandihati in Kuala Lumpur today
Also present was Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department P. Waytha Moorthy (below)
Dr Wan Azizah also wants the people to be more mature in assessing situations when faced with threats that can split the people’s unity
She said the people should reject any attempts to use racial issues to undermine public order
"There are extremists in our midst, but don’t let the extremist voice dictate our actions,” said Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Women, Family and Community Development Minister
She also emphasised the need to understand the true context of Rukun Negara and to uphold the Federal Constitution as a way to maintain national unity
Dr Wan Azizah said noble values like mutual respect and the absence of prejudice should be synonymous with Malaysians
On the government’s part, the question of unity and social well-being would continue to be its main agenda, she said
Waytha Moorthy, in his speech, said every Malaysian should realise that if racial ties were not preserved it would have adverse effects on the country
"Harmonious ties among the various races are the yardstick of a country’s stability,” he said
