A PKR assemblyperson has called the requirement for internet service providers (ISP) to implement domain name service (DNS) redirection “a draconian measure”.

Rapper-turned-politician Syed Ahmad Syed Abdul Rahman Alhadad, better known as Altimet, said the Malaysian Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) could take other measures to better protect netizens from vulnerable content.
