PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has responded to criticism from senior journalists that it is “injudiciously blocking media online content”, reiterating that the commission plays a “crucial role in regulating the communications and multimedia industry in Malaysia”.
In a statement issued today (Aug 29), MCMC states that under the provisions of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (CMA 1998), one of its primary legal obligations is to ensure that “online platforms are not used for the purpose of committing the commission or attempted commission of any offence under the written laws of Malaysia”.
