U-Turn On DNS Redirection Policy After Public Outcry

Last week, news emerged that the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) directed all Internet service providers to implement public DNS (Domain Name System) redirection for businesses, enterprises, and government agencies by September 30. Although Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil defended the decision, he has asked MCMC to put the plan on hold pending stakeholder engagement. We discuss the rationale and implication of the policy with Alex Wong of SoyaCincau.
