The Malaysian government has warned citizens about excessive use of microblogging sites like Facebook and Twitter. The Information and Communication Minister said that while Muslims and other religious groups can use these sites, they must maintain the values of their religions to protect Malaysian culture from Western influence online. He said internet users must not let what they see and hear online undermine their own beliefs and culture, as the identity of the country depends on upholding its traditions.

the identity and image of our country depends on us,"
