Cyber court to help net online criminals
MARANG: Malaysia may need a cyber court to deal with cyber crimes in view of the increasing number of such cases, says Energy, Water and Communications Minister Datuk Shaziman Abu Mansor.
He said the ministry had submitted more than 30 cases to the Attorney-General’s Chambers in three years.
“If in future we cannot cope any more, we may need to have a cyber court,” he told reporters after launching a community broadband centre in Kampung Merchang here yesterday.
Shaziman said the broadband penetration rate in the country currently stood at 18%.
“For Terengganu, the rate is 8.8%, which is a drastic increase compared to 0.7% in 2005,” he said.
He said the Government planned to increase the nationwide penetration rate to 50% by next year. — Bernama
