JAKARTA - Minister of Communication and Digital Affairs Meutya Hafid visited the Intiland Teduh and SMA 92 Child Friendly Public Space (RPTRA) Intiland Teduh and SMA 92 Jakarta, North Jakarta, to hold discussions and socialization about the dangers of online gambling.

In this activity, Meutya emphasized the importance of the role of families, especially mothers, in protecting children and adolescents from the threat of online gambling.

According to him, the role of mothers who are very sensitive in the home situation will be very effective in supervising the whole family, especially children and adolescents.

Not only that, on that occasion, Meutya also listened to stories and complaints from mothers affected by online gambling, which resulted in destruction and instability in the family.

"From this discussion, we realize how damaging the impact of online gambling on families and the community is," said the Minister of Communication and Trade in its official broadcast.

Meutya also emphasized that the government, including the Ministry of Komdigi, is committed to being present to listen and take firm action against any form of online gambling in Indonesia.

"This is not just a personal matter, but a matter of the nation that requires firm action. The state is here to listen to the community," he said.

On the other hand, during a visit to SMA 92 Jakarta, the Ministry of Communication and Digo introduced the Thematic Academy Program which includes basic cybersecurity training for high school students, as well as special training for educators to be able to protect students from online gambling snares.

"Young people must be equipped with a strong understanding of digital security to avoid harmful cybercrime," added Meutya.

Through this effort, the Ministry of Communication and Industry is committed to creating a digital environment that is safe, healthy, and productive, and places the country as a listener and protector of the public from increasingly complex digital threats.
