"The new amendments represent CMCF's continuing goals to foster a safer, self-regulating electronic media environment," said CMCF chairman Datuk Ahmad Izham Omar in a statement. "To that extent, we hope to introduce these four amendments to stay relevant and proactive to the needs of the electronic content industry scene in Malaysia," he added. The proposed amendments are an attempt to "fill the gaps for consumer protection within the electronic content industry, and emphasise the need for voluntary oversight over content for individuals and organisations", said the forum. Ahmad said public feedback, especially from those in the electronic media, is crucial to finalise the proposed additions to the content code. The proposed amendments can be seen at www.cmcf.my from May 20 to June 30.
