KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA -The Cabinet has ordered the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) to reinstate access to all blocked websites including Malaysia Today, says Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor.
On Aug 28 SKMM confirmed that it had instructed ISPs to block Malaysia Today in accordance with Section 263 of the Communications and Multimedia Act.
Since then various parties have slammed the move saying the action went against national commitments spelt out under MSC Malaysia's Bill of Guarantees.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Syed Hamid Albar had said the site was blocked because it showed no respect for religion. -- The Star
