Are service providers ready, asks Dr Wee on Class Licence for social media platforms


KUALA LUMPUR: Following conflicting responses from the Asia Internet Coalition (AIC) regarding the new Class Licence for social media platforms, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has questioned whether service providers are ready for the new policy. The Ayer Hitam MP has asked for an explanation of the country's position after AIC, in an open letter, urged the Malaysian government to pause the plan due to a lack of clarity in the proposed regulations.

In a post on his official Facebook page, Dr Wee stated that he raised the issue in Dewan Rakyat on Monday (Oct 21). He sought clarification from the Communications Minister about the Ministry's stance and whether service providers were prepared for the new policy.
