KUALA LUMPUR (Feb 16): The launch of the National Unity Policy has been deemed timely as the country is now in a transition towards a digital community. Minister of Communications and Multimedia Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah said the multi-racial society of Malaysia used to live in a physical community, either in a village or residential area, with every problem being addressed easily together. Now, he said the country is transitioning towards digital community and facing different challenges as social media is being used comprehensively to obtain all kinds of information. “Digital community is something new and some people still don’t really understand how things work in the community. If there’s a piece of fake news, for example, it will spread 1,000 times faster in the digital community than in the physical community.
