14 December 2009
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is committed to the general principles of net neutrality and no internet censorship, the Dewan Rakyat was told today.
"The law, enforced on those who violated the country's laws via the internet, did not contravene the Net Neutrality principle,"
[Deputy Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Joseph
Salang Gandum] said today.
The deputy minister also said the government would continue monitoring to ensure that internet service in the country was not monopolised by certain ISPs, including Telekom.
Salang said the government had also instructed MCMC and Telekom to prepare a proposal on how ISPs could provide the service at a much lower cost.
