Reading from all the research journals i've compiled so far, i've confirmed that there is a no censorship policy for the Internet in Malaysia. In my case study. the mainstream media platforms in Malaysia, i.e print and broadcast media has a strict governmental control and ownership. However, when it comes to the Internet, Mahathir assured his people and foreign investors, there will no be a censorship policy.
This in fact contradicts with Malaysia's political ideology. As a Malaysian myself, growing up in Malaysia, there were several policies and beliefs. Despite, i need to find the definition of the term 'political ideology' to find the correlation between the Internet censorship discourse manangement and Malaysia's political ideology.
I will not be touching on the censorship discorse for other media platforms because i would have to talk about the print press law and sedition act in Malaysia which would take up too much of the word limit. Thus, i'll focus primarily on the Internet and Malaysia's censorship discourse.
