‘We cannot regulate online content’


Reports by MARTIN CARVALHO and TARRENCE TAN

REGULATING content on online streaming platforms such as Netflix remains a challenge to the authorities because the current legislation can only regulate companies that are registered in Malaysia, says Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

He said the challenges to regulate streaming platforms wasn’t unique to Malaysia alone, as many countries were also facing issues in controlling what over-the-top (OTT) streaming platforms could show their viewers.
