Enact laws against online porn, Govt urged
KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Crime Prevention Foundation has proposed that the Government enact laws against online pornography.
MCPF vice-chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said the Government had in the past stated that it did not intend to censor the Internet.
However, he added, if cyber smut continued to be circulated, particularly indecent images of children, it might be time for the Government to take a second look and see whether it could do something about it.
The recent surge in violent crimes including rape, sodomy and brutal murders, were sending shockwaves throughout the country and the root of these crimes need to be addressed, he said in a statement yesterday.
“The time has come for us not only to fight crime but to also find out the causes of these horrendous crimes,” he said, suggesting that the issue be discussed in-depth at a seminar.
Lee said the learning of information technology must be followed by moral education and urged the Government to step up efforts to inculcate good morals in youths to prevent the rise of computer criminals.
