KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): All parties, including social media influencers, must help ensure delivery of accurate information on the implementation of the National Recovery Plan (NRP) during the country's transition to the endemic phase of Covid-19, said Tan Sri Annuar Musa (pic). The Communications and Multimedia Minister said influential people are responsible for educating the public by presenting information with an accurate narrative on government initiatives in NRP. "Educating the public on the endemic phase is important because sometimes people still do not understand... we must convey in a simple way in communicating. "Dissemination of information can also be done by influencers who have many followers, if he (or she) also takes on the role to remind the people about the transition to the endemic phase as community empowerment," he said. Apart from the use of conventional media such as television and radio, Annuar said dissemination mediums including social media platforms such as TikTok and Facebook could be used to disseminate information effectively, thus educating the public about the transition to the endemic phase.
