In Malaysia, age appropriate ratings are commonly referred to as censorship ratings. These are vetted by the National Censorship Board under the purview of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Generally, ratings in Malaysia are broken down as follows:
Online streaming services are generally self-regulated by the service providers itself. Each service provider will have their own guidelines and ratings on programmes available through their service.
As an example, Netflix has what it terms as “Maturity Ratings” to indicate suitability of content according to age groups. In Netflix, the ratings are broken down as follows
ALL – suitable for little kids
7+ - suitable for older kids above 7
13+ - suitable for teenagers
16+ - suitable for older teenagers above 16
18+ - unsuitable for children or teenagers, and only suitable for adults above 18.

We create sustainable long-term value by delivering a seamless internet experience.
All our community initiatives are supported by a robust volunteerism programme, M Squad. We are proud to see our people dedicated to both our corporate goals as well as our social contributions, where they get involved and contribute in areas they are passionate about.
Our M Squad continues to volunteer their time through a variety of causes, offering exciting opportunities for our employees to participate in whilst immersing themselves in various community outreach programmes. Although on-ground volunteering activities were scaled down to ensure social distancing and SOP compliance, employees were still able to participate in virtual volunteering efforts, where possible.
We understand the importance of connectivity for all Malaysians. That is why we have continued to work closely with MCMC to benefit of underserved communities in the TIME 3 projects, the initiative to build mobile towers and base stations in rural areas. A total of 1,700 underserved locations nationwide now have access to 2G and 3G services, made available through Domestic Roaming and Radio Access Network (RAN) sharing with other service providers.
We have also installed and deployed 334 WiFi Komuniti locations nationwide to ensure wireless broadband access for rural populations, as part of the Universal Service Provision (USP) initiative. Through 118 Internet Centres under Maxis’ care nationwide, we play a key role in facilitating the adoption of ICT and digital lifestyles. Apart from offering Maxis’ own eKelas programme, these centres also offer various ICT workshops for the community.
We will continue to leverage digitalisation and technology to create meaningful impacts for rural communities. Our community investments help to ensure that more and more people have access to the benefits that digital technology can bring to their lives.
Our vision is clear: to deliver a worry-free Internet experience as Malaysia's No. 1 Network. By acting sustainably and responsibly across all areas, we take a step-by-step approach to ensure our vision becomes reality. These reports demonstrate how Maxis' efforts in shaping our nation's future while simultaneously strengthening our impact for communities nationwide. In turn, creating long-term value for our stakeholders.
