Malaysia Today Blocked by ISP
The online portal Malaysia Today has been blocked by the
Malaysia largest ISP TMNET on orders from the Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) as such overseas visitors and non TMNET subscribers can access the site but those using TMNET can not.
A MCMC official is quoted thus:
“It is being blocked because we found that some of the comments on the website were insensitive, bordering on incitement,”
He further says that all other ISPs have been ordered to enforce the ban.
Malaysia Today is often controversial with commentaries which the government finds distasteful. Though the government purports to allow free speech this action from the MCMC which is a government regulatory body is the complete opposite.
The Malaysia Today admin are now using the other URL address that redirects to the site.
