The Malaysian Technical Standards Forum Bhd (MTSFB) is a company limited by guarantee which was incorporated on 8 June 2004 and being designated as the Technical Standards Forum (TSF) by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) on 27 October 2004, under the Communications and Multimedia Act (CMA 1998), Part V, Chapter 9 – Voluntary Industry Codes, Section 94 Industry Forum and Part VII, Chapter 3 – Technical Standards, Section 184 Technical Standards Forum. MTSFB was established to enshrine the national policy and objective of self-regulation with the essence embraced in CMA 1998 by initiating and facilitating the development of technical documents related to interoperability, safety and operation for Network Facility, Network Service or Network Application Providers. We have produced 48 Technical Codes, 26 of them were successfully registered as Technical Codes, 4 Guidelines, 2 Mandatory Standards and another 4 has been registered as Malaysia Standards.

In conjunction with the achievement, the MTSFB and MCMC are organising the "MTSFB Sharing Session – Awareness programme on MTSFB Technical Codes" for the year 2015 and 2016. This sharing session is to conduct briefing sessions for each of the identified technical codes that will incorporate with Question & Answer session (Q&A) and related implementation to the participants, stakeholders and any relevant parties. Since it will gather all the participants from various fields and industries, we believe this sharing session may promote and explain the requirements that have been documented related to telecommunications and multimedia sector. It has been expected that industry would adopt the existing way of implementation. Some of these implementations would not interoperate with others and this will hinder the deployment of the telecommunication’s system. Industries can overcome this issue by using some guidelines or standard documents that are already available and documents that would be created. This would ease the industries in deploying of any activities furthers. It will feature presentations from the expert of the document which is from the industry representatives.

MTSFB have successfully conducted the event for the Central region on 12 Sept 2017 in MCMC Former HQ. We have received participant from Governance, Governance Agency, Industry, Academia, M&E Consultant, Vendor, Manufacturer, Association, and Others. There are 91 participants attended to this program. The event well went and received positive feedback from the participant.
