KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has blocked 5,044 websites between 2015 and October last year. Sabah Multimedia and Communications Ministry information executive councillor Datuk Sapawi Ahmad said those websites had violated the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988. The remaining websites contain elements of gambling, prostitution, cheating and piracy,” he said during a social media workshop themed “#Negaraku: The social media affair” here recently. Based on a study, he said, 77 per cent of Internet users were aged between 15 and 40. Most users, he added, spent three hours surfing, and, on average, an individual had four social media accounts.
