"Use social media for making good changes, changing mindset, way of thinking or paradigm so that the benefits of openness, digital economy would really bring advantages to our nation and our country," he said at a meeting with millenials of BUMNs at The Telkom Hub here on Thursday evening.
People must use social media with a sense of responsibility, he added.
