The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is considering banning the social media/messaging app Telegram. The company’s chief compliance officer, Zulkarnain Mohd Yasin, said this could be necessary in order to offer protection to users of the app, as well as to safeguard national sovereignty.
