KAJANG: The Internet will remain free from government control despite calls to regulate some of its functions--especially with regard to cyber gambling, said Energy, Communications and Multimedia Minister Datuk Amar Leo Moggie.

"The Internet is so vast that people will find a way to abuse it. So the policy of not censoring the Internet remains," he said after attending a Tenaga Nasional Bhd function yesterday.

Moggie said the best way to counter the negative influence of the Internet was through parental guidance.
