MCMC must stop playing big brother


WE find it totally unacceptable that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is playing “Big Brother” by injudiciously blocking media online content.

We are concerned that of late, media practitioners have been called by MCMC to explain the content in their news portals and online sites. What is more worrying is the fact that many of the so-labelled “offending” contents are mere reports and opinion pieces deemed critical of the government.
