Govt cannot regulate online streaming platforms such as Netflix, says Annuar Musa

The Communications and Multimedia Minister said challenges to regulate streaming platforms isn't only unique to Malaysia, as many countries in the world are facing issues in controlling what over-the-top (OTT) streaming platforms can show to their viewers.
