MCMC obtains default judgment against administrators of two Telegram channels


KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has obtained a default judgment against the administrators of two Telegram channels, Edisi Siasat and Edisi Khas, over the publication and circulation of 33 allegedly defamatory and harmful articles.

MCMC's lawyer, Wong Guo Jin, said High Court Judge Mahazan Mat Taib granted the commission's application after the unidentified individuals operating the two channels failed to enter a memorandum of appearance by the court-mandated deadline.
