Fahmi says DNS rerouting plan off the table, opts for more public engagement

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 11 — Communication Minister Fahmi Fadzil said today the government does not plan to continue requiring all internet service providers (ISPs) in Malaysia to implement the Domain Name System (DNS) redirection, suggesting the move is off the table.

“We don’t intend to proceed with the DNS rerouting but I have directed the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to carry out more public dialogues and engage more people to get feedback,” the minister said at the weekly post-Cabinet meeting press conference here.
