PUTRAJAYA, Aug 21 — The Communications Ministry has assured the licensing process for social media platform providers to operate in Malaysia will be straightforward.
Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had informed the licensing process would take between three to five working days.
He added that the ministry expects to receive licensing applications from social media platform operators around October or November this year.
“We assure social media platform providers that since we are implementing a class licence, the process is not as difficult as an individual licence.
“An individual licence may take several months to process, but for a class licence,’ MCMC has said it will take three to five working days,” he said during a press conference here today.
