HIS MAJESTY Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, reminded the public not to turn social media platforms into venues for arguments and shaming others as these actions only contribute to division and conflict.
Sultan Ibrahim also warned against extremism, particularly concerning issues related to race and religion.
“Do not shame others or viral shameful content, as this will only cause division and conflict,” said Sultan Ibrahim at the national-level Maal Hijrah 2024/1446H celebration at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre.
Her Majesty Raja Zarith Sofiah, Queen of Malaysia, was also in attendance.
The king acknowledged the challenges faced by the public today amid the unrestricted flow of information through social media, which is difficult to regulate.
Therefore, His Majesty emphasised the importance for Malaysians to exercise caution when seeking religious knowledge on social media, ensuring that the content obtained is authentic and from authoritative sources. – July 7, 2024.
