In SRC’s US$1.1b suit against Najib, ex-director says former PM blaming him and board for RM3.6b loss is an ‘afterthought’Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said several meetings have been held with Telegram to discuss the issue, the latest being in April. — Bernama picKUALA LUMPUR, May 8 — App provider Telegram is ready to work together with the government to fight rampant digital piracy on its platform, Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil said.
He added that several meetings have been held with Telegram to discuss the issue, the latest being in April. “We see it happening on several platforms, especially Telegram. We received complaints, including from Astro, about pirated films that are distributed on the platform. “This requires the cooperation of the distributors, and copyright owners, as well as supervisory bodies like the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and I hope we can ensure other platforms will also fight digital piracy,” he told reporters prior to the special screening of Sheriff: Narko Integriti here tonight, adding that the ministry, including the MCMC, required a bit of time to tackle the issue as the platform was not based in Malaysia.
Digital piracy on Telegram app has returned as a hot topic following a rant by prolific producer and director Shahrulezad Mohameddin expressing his disappointment on discovering his latest film Khunsa being made available for viewing on Telegram easily.
