'Disseminate info to Malaysian students abroad' Posted: 19 Jul 2011 10:26 PM PDT SEOUL: The Malaysian government should provide various mediums to channel the latest information on domestic issues to Malaysian students abroad so they are not misled by false information, several Malaysian students here said. Amirul Fazreen Mazli, 22, said the government should provide various channels so that Malaysian students abroad can get accurate information about issues back home. "Currently, we depend on information which are found on social websites or blogs, which resulted in many students being influenced by what they read although the information may not be true," said the third year engineering student at Korea University.
More than 100 Malaysians here attended the dinner. Also present were International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed and Malaysian ambassador to South Korea Datuk Ramlan Ibrahim. Amirul Fazreen said among the steps that could be taken included having more meetings between government leaders and Malaysian students abroad.
"With the government channeling information to us, we can have an accurate and true picture of any incident or issue taking place in Malaysia," he said. He also described the illegal rally in Kuala Lumpur on July 9 as tarnishing the image of Malaysia in the eyes of the world.
Meanwhile, Ramlan said an attempt by certain quarters to hold a gathering here on July 9 fell through because Malaysian citizens in South Korea did not support the move. -- BERNAMA
