Telegram Secures Operating Licence in Malaysia, Following WeChat and TikTok
In a significant development, Telegram has obtained an operating licence from the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), making it the third social media service provider to achieve this milestone in the country. Following in the footsteps of Tencent's WeChat and ByteDance's TikTok, Telegram's licence is expected to enhance its presence in Malaysia's digital landscape. According to Communications Minister Fahmi, this move is anticipated to promote a more regulated and secure online environment for Malaysian users. The news is likely to boost the app's user base, as it is now officially recognized by the Malaysian authorities. With this licence, Telegram is poised to expand its services, offering a more reliable and trustworthy experience for its users. As social media continues to play a vital role in Malaysia's digital economy, the incorporation of major players like Telegram is expected to drive growth and innovation in the sector, with keywords like social media marketing, online security, and digital regulation gaining prominence.
