MYNIC aims to grow Malaysia’s voice online
MYNIC held the grand public launch for its Second Level .my Domain Name. The event was officiated by Yang Berhormat Datuk Dr. Maximus Ongkili, Minister of Science Technology & Innovation who registered his very own domain name, mpkotamarudu.my. The launch was also attended by Mr. Amarjit Singh, Senior Director representing Malaysia Communication and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) who registered a domain name on behalf of MCMC Chairman, Datuk Dr. Halim Shafie as halimshafie.my witnessed by MOSTI Minister.
Puan Shariya, Director of MYNIC in her speech mentioned MYNIC’s efforts throughout the year to increase active online participation from all layers of society. “Our efforts for the entire year of 2007 were based on the immediate needs of the public, the fast broadband growth and an increasing ICT savvy community,” she said.
MYNIC’s main objectives are to bring online identity to the grassroots to allow even rural folks to enjoy the flexibility of technology and to bring Malaysia’s unique identity to the world. The elimination of categorization in the shorter domain name option allows businesses and individuals to cut across industries and still be relevant online.
