Bill of Guarantee No. 7: To ensure no censorship of the Internet

Policy Objective

To realise the vision for Malaysia to be a major global ICT hub, the Government recognises the revolutionary role of the Internet in facilitating information-exchange and innovation, and providing the basis for continuing enhancements to quality of work and life.

Interpretation

While the Government will not censor the Internet, this does not mean that any person may disseminate illegal content with impunity and without regard to the law. To the extent that any act is illegal in the physical world, it will similarly be outlawed in the online environment. Hence, laws prohibiting dissemination of, for example, indecent / obscene or other illegal materials will continue to apply. In this regard, relevant ministries and agencies will continue to take appropriate actions and enforce those laws that are under their respective purview.

Responsible Ministries / Agencies

  • Ministry of Information, Communication and Culture.
  • Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
