PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said that it’s planning to “quarantine” rather than block websites with only a “small” amount of prohibited content.

The website owner will be notified of the specific violations and given the opportunity to address them. While quarantined, the websites will remain inaccessible, but access will be restored once the offence is rectified, without the need to file a formal appeal.
