The primary regulator of telecommunications in Malaysia is the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC). It issues licenses under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, the Postal Services Act 2012 and the Digital Signature Act 1997.
SARAWAK
For Sarawak, Sarawak Multimedia Authority (SMA) [1] is the operating regulatory body established pursuant to Section 3 of Sarawak Multimedia Authority Ordinance 2017[2] which allows the Sarawak Government to spearhead, oversee and facilitate the development and implementation of the communication, multimedia and Sarawak's Digital Economy Initiatives within the region.
Contrary to critics' claims, SMA and MCMC complement one another in managing and developing Sarawak's telecommunication and digitalisation sector, and have been in a cooperative relationship since SMA's inception in 2017.
In 2022, the Telecommunication Division was added as a portfolio to the then Sarawak Ministry of Public Utilities (now Sarawak Ministry of Utility and Telecommunication[3]), effectively allowing the ministry to monitor and manage as well as report the development of telecommunication and digitalisation sector in the region directly to the Sarawak Legislative Assembly (Dewan Undangan Sarawak) sessions.
