PUTRAJAYA: The Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) and Information Department (Japen) need to strengthen their cooperation in formulating strategies to combat fake news, says Fahmi Fadzil.
Speaking to reporters after attending the Communications and Digital Ministry’s monthly assembly here Thursday , the Communications and Digital Minister said all three agencies, which are under the ministry, must be at the forefront in countering any inaccurate information on social media and mainstream media promptly.
"There is a need for RTM, Bernama, and Japen to work closely to swiftly counter false information and baseless allegations because it can tarnish reputations and create a negative perception."We must be proactive in improving public service delivery, and I urge us to cultivate the practice of verifying the authenticity of information or news before sharing it,” he said.
"Maybe we can introduce a slot in RTM news, to be called Fitnah Apa Hari Ini to answer and rebut all the fake news so as to avoid misunderstanding among the public,” he said. "Alhamdulillah, HKHM2023 was successfully held with the cooperation of all parties. It would not have been successful without the cooperation of all.
