Govt to draft law specific to combat cyberbullying


KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): The government is drafting laws specifically on cyberbullying to combat the growing problem, says Malaysia Cybersecurity Outreach and Capacity Building senior vice-president, Lt Col (R) Mustaffa Ahmad.

Mustaffa said with the specific laws, the prosecution process for cyberbullying would no longer be based on other acts, including Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1988 (Improper use of network facilities) as is being practised currently.
