I read the post last nite, concerning the possibility of Malaysian bloggers hosted locally might be asked to register with the Ministry of Energy, Water and Communications.
He said the step has to be taken because there were about 50,000 websites registered under the .my suffix and there were a lot of avenues for anyone to host websites with malicious content which could harm the country's security.
However the idea was looked down upon certain people such as Jeff Ooi, Marina Mahathir and Ahirudin Attan as it would make Malaysia look ridiculous in the eyes of the world, and it would encourage Malaysian to host their website overseas.
p/s: I wonder how they are going to monitor all those registered website at once?
