Group Chief Executive Officer Tengku Farith Rithauddeen said the assurance given by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would definitely encourage more to embrace IT especially in those related to the e-government and e-commerce initiatives for which the government is pushing very hard.
"While we welcome this guarantee of freedom by the Prime Minister himself, netizens should be more responsible with what is posted in the net by only disseminating accurate and factual information," he said in a statement Monday.
According to a recent Gartner Report released in October last year, Malaysia's IT services market size is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3 per cent from 2011 through 2016, with more attractive opportunities to make Malaysia a growing regional services and outsourcing hub.
"If Malaysia were to regulate the internet, many may decide to host their websites or portals outside the country and this will hamper the government's quest of making this country a hosting or data centre hub," Tengku Faris said.
