A study by the digital transparency advocacy group Sinar Project has confirmed that Malaysiakini’s live.undi.info website, which published live updates of the 14th general election results, was blocked during polling day.
It said internet service providers TMNet and Maxis had blocked the website for several hours starting on the evening of May 9, using a method known as Domain Name Service (DNS) hijacking.
When contacted, TM said in a statement that questions regarding national content blocking should be directed at the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
Malaysiakini has also contacted both Maxis and MCMC regarding the findings and is waiting for a response.
