MCMC ready to combat militant threat on social media

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is prepared to provide technical and forensic assistance to the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) to curb the use of social websites for militant activities.

MCMC Monitoring and Enforcement Division chief Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin said, however, the agency’s involvement in monitoring and checking the activity could only be carried out with the agreement of the police because it was under their (police) jurisdiction.
