ABSTRAK
Kajian ini membincangkan mengenai ancaman penyebaran berita palsu terhadap perpaduan rakyat berbilang kaum di Malaysia. Berita palsu, atau yang dikenali sebagai "fake news," telah menjadi isu yang semakin mendalam dalam era globalisasi dan perkembangan teknologi maklumat. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidik dan menganalisis ancaman yang dihadapi oleh rakyat berbilang kaum di Malaysia akibat penyebaran berita palsu. Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif iaitu kaedah penyelidikan perpustakaan dan analisis kandungan bagi mengkaji penulisan terdahulu, seterusnya menganalisis faktor berlakunya penyebaran berita palsu, kesan terhadap perpaduan rakyat dan langkah bagi mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa penyebaran berita palsu boleh memberi kesan serius terhadap perpaduan rakyat di negara ini. Kesan ini termasuk peningkatan ketegangan antara kaum, kurangnya kepercayaan dalam kalangan masyarakat, dan penyebaran pandangan prejudis. Oleh itu, salah satu cadangan penulis memberi tumpuan kepada keperluan mengukuhkan ilmu literasi media di kalangan rakyat Malaysia sebagai satu pendekatan untuk mengekang ancaman penyebaran berita palsu. Dalam usaha membangunkan perpaduan yang kukuh, kerjasama antara pihak berkuasa, industri media, dan masyarakat awam amat penting bagi menangani isu ini.

ABSTRACT
This study discusses the threat of fake news dissemination to the unity of Malaysia's multiracial society. Fake news has become an increasingly pressing issue in the era of globalization and the advancement of information technology. The objective of this study is to investigate and analyze the threats faced by Malaysia's multiracial population due to the spread of fake news. A qualitative approach is employed, using library research and content analysis methods to examine previous writings. The study analyzes the factors contributing to the spread of fake news, its effects on national unity, and strategies to address the problem. The findings indicate that the spread of fake news can have serious repercussions on national unity. These effects include heightened racial tensions, erosion of trust within society, and the spread of prejudiced views. Therefore, one of the recommendations emphasizes the need to strengthen media literacy among Malaysians as an approach to curb the threat of fake news. In the effort to build strong national unity, cooperation between authorities, the media industry, and the public is crucial in tackling this issue.
