MCMC Safe Internet Campaign Reaches 53,000 in 900 Selangor Schools

Summary

  • Nearly 53,000 students and teachers in more than 900 Selangor schools had joined MCMC’s Safe Internet Campaign by May, marking the programme’s latest reach since its early-2025 launch.
  • MCMC said the campaign is tailored by age group—primary pupils learn about social media risks and age-appropriate platforms, while secondary students are taught to use the internet safely and responsibly for learning.
  • Selangor will next host Safe Internet Community Carnivals over coming months, expanding the effort beyond schools to parents and senior citizens with guidance on scams, cybercrime trends and prevention.
  • Selangor’s 1.57 million fixed broadband and 9.51 million mobile broadband subscriptions in late 2025, plus a 64.1 fixed-line penetration rate, underscore why officials say stronger digital literacy and cyber vigilance are needed.
