| Summary: | This paper seeks to examine and present a review of the correlation between the
institutional structure of the regulatory body, in this case the Malaysian Communications
and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), and the exercise of its enforcement powers
provided under the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 ('CMA 1998'), in the face of
the convergence of telecommunication, broadcasting and multimedia industries in
Malaysia. The focus of this paper is to highlight the various enforcement mechanisms
envisaged under the CMA 1998 and the corresponding effectiveness in view of the
institutional setting therein. Central to the instant study is the possibility and viability of civil
enforcement of the various provisions enumerated under the CMA 1998, apart from the
conventional state-criminal prosecution on any potential infringements. |
