“While we are resolving this problem, I wish to urge all parties to be wary of information coming from my office as well as social media accounts in my name.The Port Dickson MP also recounted his previous calls for better safeguards against cyberattacks that he was becoming a growing issue. Anwar added that attention should not only be given to Big Data and artificial intelligence, but must also be balanced with reasonable protection against cyberattacks as well as the ethical application of such technology.
