there are quite a number actually, ie. those that get in the domain bandwagon early enough before .com exploded after mid 90s.
example:
www.usm.my
www.ukm.my
www.utm.my
www.pnm.my
www.sirim.my
etc.
(see also
domain.my Registration)
and
com/net/org/name/edu/mil/gov.my are technically 2LD as well.
for instance, you can load
www.gov.my website, as well as
www.penang.gov.my etc. -- just like
www.ws or
www.com for instance. (now I wonder if registrant of
www.com.my would get the rights to
www.my).
[hmmm... I wish I had listen to my friend's suggestion to get a .com back in 1993, for FREE, when I first published my HTML, instead of jumping in some five years later and had to fork USD70 to Network Solutions for one -- was getting them for US$10 or less a year later though, via other registrar].
I'm looking forward for .my names to drop to under RM10/year so that every citizen would be able to afford at least one each. (MYNIC: would you rather get RM100 x 100K or RM10 x 10M = RM10M vs RM100M per year?) Registry-registrar system please...
