Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the amendments were also to encourage the development of the communications and multimedia industry in this country fit for future.
"This act has never been amended since 25 years ago and now and the next 25 years, the use of technology and the platforms are also very different."...for example, before this, we only used 2G and 3G, now there is 5G," he said when replying to a question from Dr Kevin Yii Lee Wuen in the Dewan Rakyat today.Therefore, Fahmi hopes that MPs, non-governmental organisations, the public and legal experts could provide feedback to the ministry to improve the law.
