IDN in Malaysia • So, most of the Malaysian has no issues to use Latin script domain name • www.tuition.my => English • www.tuisyen.my => Bahasa Malaysia(Malay) • IDN is more on social / community/ cultural preservation instead of the commercial need
Type of IDN supported by .my .my will support 3 scripts of IDN, which are Jawi, Chinese and Tamil. As a start, we will launch 2nd level IDNs in Jawi script (for example: اورݢانيسايس..my, چواب..my).
