Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil ordered regulators on Sept 8 to suspend the DNS redirection policy.
The move would have required all web traffic to be re-routed through local DNS servers and blocked the use of public or third -party DNS servers.
The backlash came from not just industry experts and everyday consumers, but even lawmakers from Prime Minister Anwar’s Pakatan Harapan coalition.
The digital sector makes up 23 per cent of Malaysia ’s RM1.8 trillion (S$539 billion) economy.
Digital sector is expected to be worth more than a quarter of gross domestic product by 2025 .
Experts say the redirection policy could have a negative impact on the digital economy.
