KOTA BARU: Kelantan will block access to online dating, crime-related and pornography websites when it launches its free Internet wireless service.
State Information committee chairman Dr Mohamed Fadzli Hassan (PAS-Temangan) said the wi-fi service was available in parts of the state capital on a trial run basis.
“The state will not rush into making it available throughout Kelantan because it wants to select an operator that can guarantee that web content that promotes social ills and negative values will be filtered out.
“We want everybody to have equal access but we must control some of the content,” Dr Mohamed Fadzli said when wrapping up the tabling of the 2009 Budget at the seven-day state legislative assembly sitting.
