Top 5 At 5: DNS Disaster Puts Trust Deficit on MCMC

To address cybercrime, pornography and online gambling, the MCMC set out to implement a public DNS redirection policy, that would have inadvertedly allowed regulators to control what websites we get to access. However, after a weekend of opposition from the public, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil reversed the decision. We look at the government's handling of the situation with Khairul Yusof, co-founder of Sinar Project.

Other stories we cover in this episode:

· The Sultan of Pahang has emphasized the need to protect Fraser's Hill amid renewed efforts to balance preservation with sustainable tourism. Nik Jassmin Hew, Chairperson of Persatuan Alam & Warisan Bukit Fraser, shares her perspective on the proposal.

· Infighting within the unity government has emerged after Seputeh MP Teresa Kok criticized a mandatory halal certificate for restaurants. We reached out to Ooi Kok Hin, Executive Director of Bersih, to help us understand the differing viewpoints.

· Penang Chief Minister Chow Kon Yeo’s decision not to run in the upcoming state election reveals factional struggles within the Penang DAP. Preedeep Nambiar, the Northen Bureau Chief of FMT offers insights into Chow’s decision.

· French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist politician Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister, a week after rejecting the winning left-wing coalition’s candidate. Nathaneal Bloch, a former French government advisor, explains Barnier's appointment, while Peter McPhee, Emeritus Professor of French History at the University of Melbourne, discusses the ongoing protests.
