On July 6, 2026, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) issued a notice stating that two technical specifications for communication and hybrid devices will be implemented on May 5, 2026

  • "Specification for Short-Range Radio Equipment (Third Revision)" (MCMC MTSFB TC T007:2026);
