Obscene content: ‘Grup budak-budak sekolah rendah' FB page shut down
She said the Ministry of Communications, through the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), had contacted Meta to disable the Facebook account.
'I do not wish to comment further as the investigation is ongoing, but I would like to stress that MCMC will continue to work with the police to take follow-up action and carry out further investigations,' she said after attending a charity sale and cultural performance programme at a shopping mall here today.
Social media influencer Mek Yun, 28, whose real name is Wee Yun Nee, had earlier exposed the existence of the group and urged the authorities to act swiftly to curb the spread of immoral content.
According to Teo, the MCMC, in collaboration with the police, launched Op Pedo last year, resulting in the arrest of 13 individuals and the discovery of more than 40,000 child sexual abuse materials (CSAM) and other pornographic content.
Meanwhile, she said the government was actively implementing the Safe Internet Campaign (KIS), targeting students at the primary, secondary and tertiary education levels.
'To date, the MCMC has carried out the programme in 53 schools, involving 11,389 participants comprising pupils, students, teachers and parents.
'Our target from May to August is to implement the KIS in 344 schools nationwide, including at least 20 schools in Johor,' she said.
Teo said the campaign focused on educating students about cyberbullying, the importance of personal data security, and the dangers of interacting with strangers online.
'We encourage all interested schools to contact the MCMC office so that we can arrange training sessions and talks on digital safety,' she said.
Teo also called on parents to play a role in educating their children on the safe and responsible use of the internet.

Cleaned out: Housekeeping manager loses RM211,000 in investment scam
KUANTAN: A housekeeping manager lost RM211,000 of his savings after falling victim to a fake online investment scheme promoted on Facebook. The 49-year-old man from Kuantan transferred the money into two separate bank accounts over eight days before realising he had been duped. Pahang police chief Datuk Seri Yahaya Othman said the victim saw a Facebook advertisement promoting the investment scheme on March 16, after which he communicated with a woman through WhatsApp. "The woman sweet-talked the victim into joining the investment scheme, promising high returns. "He became convinced when she provided access to what appeared to be the scheme's official investment platform." The victim made six transactions totalling RM211,000 into two separate bank accounts between June 4 and June 11. "The victim realised that he had been cheated when he was asked to make additional investments but received no returns," he said in a statement today. Yahaya said the victim, who used his savings to participate in the fraudulent scheme, lodged a police report yesterday. He urged the public to remain cautious when dealing with online investment schemes and to contact the National Scam Response Centre at 997 to report financial scams.

‘Rest well, Kiky': Najib mourns death of pet cat, fans flood page with condolences
KUALA LUMPUR, July 15 — A post shared on Datuk Seri Najib Razak's official Facebook page has announced the passing of his pet cat, Kiky, prompting an outpouring of condolences from followers. The post included photos of the former prime minister with the orange-white feline, including one showing the cat waiting at the front entrance of a home. 'Kiky is no longer with us, guys,' the post read. 'Thank you, Allah, for arranging Kiky to be a part of my life all this while. She was very sweet and loving,' it added. The post also mentioned that Kiky would wait by the door every day when Najib returned from work, before ending with a short farewell: 'Rest well, Kiky'. Among the comments left by followers, one user wrote: 'Even a cat knows how to long for and love DSN (Datuk Seri Najib)... she waited for her master's return until the very end.' Another recalled personally meeting Kiky during a visit to Najib's home to deliver nasi dagang. Though Najib is currently serving a six-year prison sentence for corruption linked to SRC International, his Facebook page continues to be updated with personal reflections, statements and political commentary. Najib is currently seeking court recognition and enforcement of a royal addendum order that would allow him to serve the remainder of his sentence under house arrest.
