PETALING JAYA: Local users of the popular BlackBerry phone can breathe a little easier as Malaysia would not be banning the BlackBerry services for now.

Despite recent developments in several Asian countries banning BlackBerry services due to security concerns, Information, Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said Malaysia has no issues with BlackBerry services -- from a security point of view as well as consumers complains.

"We have looked into the matter and we do not think there is any issue regarding the security or any untrusted encrypted source from BlackBerry," he said after a working visit to the National Film Development Corporation, here, this morning.

While India, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates cited national security concerns, other Asian countries cited social concerns that services such as the encrypted messenger service could enable and spread pornography.

Several countries in the Middle East and North Africa wanted access to encrypted BlackBerry communication, which has been linked to militant actions, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people.

The German government has banned politicians and civil servants from using the BlackBerry. The European Union Commission had, in early August, rejected the BlackBerry in favour of Apple's iPhone and HTC smartphones.

Rais said the authorities did not deem it necessary to ban BlackBerry services at present as the public has yet to raise any concerns regarding its usage.

"However, we will continue to monitor this and if we do receive any complaints, I will request the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commision to act on it fast," he said.

pengguna tempatan dari telefon BlackBerry popular boleh bernafas sedikit lebih mudah seperti Malaysia tidak akan melarang perkhidmatan BlackBerry untuk saat ini.

Walaupun perkembangan terkini di beberapa negara Asia melarang perkhidmatan BlackBerry kerana masalah keselamatan, Maklumat, Komunikasi dan Menteri Kebudayaan Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim berkata Malaysia tidak mempunyai masalah dengan perkhidmatan BlackBerry - dari sudut pandang keamanan serta pelanggan mengeluh.

"Kami telah melihat ke masalah itu dan kita tidak berfikir ada isu mengenai keselamatan atau sumber-sumber disulitkan tidak dipercayai dari BlackBerry," katanya selepas lawatan kerja ke National Film Development Corporation, di sini, pagi ini.

Sementara India, Arab Saudi dan Emiriah Arab dikutip masalah keselamatan negara, negara-negara Asia yang lain dikutip keprihatinan sosial yang perkhidmatan seperti perkhidmatan kurir disulitkan boleh mengaktifkan dan menyebar pornografi.

Beberapa negara di Timur Tengah dan Afrika Utara mahu akses kepada komunikasi BlackBerry disulitkan, yang telah dikaitkan dengan tindakan-tindakan militan, termasuk 2008 serangan Mumbai yang mengorbankan 166 orang.

Kerajaan Jerman telah melarang ahli politik dan pegawai negeri sipil dari menggunakan BlackBerry. Suruhanjaya Kesatuan Eropah telah, pada awal Ogos, menolak menyokong BlackBerry di iPhone Apple dan smartphone HTC.

Rais berkata kerajaan tidak menganggap perlu untuk melarang perkhidmatan BlackBerry pada masa ini kerana masyarakat belum mengangkat keprihatinan apapun tentang penggunaannya.

"Namun, kami akan terus memantau ini dan jika kita menerima aduan, saya akan meminta Komunikasi dan Multimedia Malaysia Suruhanjaya untuk bertindak cepat," katanya.
