Malaysia Today blocked! Order from MCMC
 Andrew Ong | Aug 27, 08 5:29pm Malaysiakini In a rare move, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has ordered all internet service providers (ISPs) to block controversial online portal Malaysia Today. MCPXMCMC chief operating officer Mohamed Sharil Tarmizi, when contacted today, confirmed that the block was ordered by the commission, which is the regulatory body for online content. “It is being blocked because we found that some of the comments on the website were insensitive, bordering on incitement,” he told Malaysiakini. As at 7pm, a check by Malaysiakini showed users are unable to access Malaysia Today through three major ISPs - TMnet, Maxis and Time. However, users can still access the errant website through Jaring. |
