SHAH ALAM, March 7 — The Communications and Digital Ministry will call up the Telegram service provider soon to discuss issues involving the application, especially regarding security of users.

“This Telegram is seen to be problematic, with all sorts of information posted there and many scammer activities . But at the same time we know it is an important channel for conveying information to the public, for example by NSC,” he told reporters after attending a People’s Townhall with Fahmi Fadzil programme organised by Sinar Harian here last night.

“This is not only about scammers, but also pornography and extremism which need to be checked urgently if they are spread through Telegram,” he said. “I believe my ministry officials have reached out , and I am waiting for some feedback soon,” he said.
