In November 1998, Malaysia adopted a convergence regulation model with regards to the communications and multimedia industry. Two legislations were enacted to give effect to the new regulatory model: the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 which set out a new regulatory licensing framework for a convergent communications and multimedia industry and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Act (1998) which created a new regulatory body, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
The Communications and Multimedia Act (1998) came into effect on 1 April 1999, and the Telecommunications Act (1950) and the Broadcasting Act (1988) were repealed.
The regulation of the communications and multimedia industry is now undertaken by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission.
On 1 November 2001, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission also took over the regulatory functions of the Postal Services Act 1991 and the Digital Signature Act 1997.
