Malaysia Is Against Curbs On Internet Debate
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Censoring Internet access will not solve
concerns over privacy and individual freedom in cyberspace, Malaysia's
Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said.
"Censoring the Internet is not the solution. Simply closing our
doors will not only hurt us but push us back in the race for growth
and prosperity," he said in a speech at the launching of the
Internet World '96 conference
(http:/www.asiaconnect.com.my/asia-internet/)
Countries concerned with such issues should instead utilize the
Internet to reinforce social responsibility, he added. "Let us
not forget that an informed citizenry is also a responsible
citizenry," Anwar said.
