Like the others said, it's just that: a kill switch. If at any time government deems online spread of information is disadvantageous to them or can 'threaten national security', they can simply switch off the internet.
Granted, there are 2 versions of this kill switch that we've heard of: some outlets report it as a 'social media killswitch' and some report it as 'internet kill switch.'
Both are obviously extremely damaging to the entire country. No situation justifies turning off access to information or the internet as a whole in 2024.
Cheers.
I suppose they're building the legal framework to legalize their future actions?
No apply SM lesen. No cooperation to delete "detrimental" content.
Then we reserve the right to block MYians access to their site/app?

With all of this going on, gonna ask a quick question here...
Will things like starlink mitigate interruptions like this? Or legislation will get over this?
When we asked if Starlink is required to have local ground stations where traffic is rerouted domestically, MCMC said Starlink currently has ground stations in Malaysia.So, with Starlink's ?reliance? on ground stations, they can sort of control Starlink?
