Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad who granted the Internet its Malaysian “bill of rights” is the most outspoken defender of the rights and has spoken out fiercely at past and recent attempts to curb the freedom of what goes on in cyberspace.
IT MUST have been a relief to many, probably to most Malaysians, that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak put his foot down on attempts to limit Internet access. For a while there many people thought that finally those who had always wanted to firewall certain sites of the Internet are getting their way – that the government had finally given in to demands that it break its own pledge never to censor the Internet.
