PETALING JAYA: The benefits of Malaysia’s cabotage policy for submarine cable repairs outweigh the shortcoming, especially in terms of protecting the country’s digital sovereignty, says the Malaysia Shipowners’ Association (Masa).
Its chairman Datuk Abdul Hak Md Amin said relying on foreign vessels to perform submarine cable maintenance every time was more likely to expose the country to possible data security threats.
“We have our own (digital) sovereignty to look into (even if) we have our own maintenance vessels. What more when our cable is out and the foreign vessels that come in (to do the repair) might take possession of our secured data. We don’t know.
