(KPL/VNA) Malaysia is spearheading the development of the ASEAN Guidelines on the Safe and Responsible Use of Social Media Platforms, recognising the growing associated challenges.

As reported by the country’s national news agency Bernama, leading the Malaysian delegation at the 17th Conference of ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI) here, Deputy Communications Minister Teo Nie Ching said that the initiative aimed to provide harmonised guidance for the region, produce a comprehensive report assessing social media regulations across bloc member states, and ultimately support practical guidelines reflecting ASEAN's unique context.

She said a truly united ASEAN Community must be built on strong, inclusive, and trusted media and information ecosystems, calling on ASEAN member states to collaborate and realise the vision toward a resilient, responsive, and truly connected ASEAN by 2035.

Teo also highlighted several significant ASEAN-led efforts, including the ASEAN Guideline on Management of Government Information in Combating Fake News and Disinformation, endorsed at the 16th AMRI in Da Nang, Vietnam, in September 2023.

She went on reaffirming Malaysia’s commitment to media cooperation, digital literacy, and content co-production.
