MALAYSIA TO PROPOSE CYBERLAWS ON INTERNET FREEDOM
GEORGETOWN (Penang, Malaysia), Sept 29 (Bernama) - Malaysia will propose cyberlaws relating to the rights and freedom of internet users to prevent abuse during the International Cyberlaw Seminar in London in early November, Information, Communications and Culture Minister Dr Rais Yatim said.
The internet should be used to gain knowledge in line with development of information communications technology which has its advantages and disadvantages, he said.
"We want local and international values to be inculcated so that the outside world does not only look at human rights but also protect humans from decadence," he said after presenting 1Malaysia laptop computers to 50 children of police personnel here on Thursday.
Penang police chief Ayub Yaakob was also present at the function held at the state police contingent headquarters.
Rais said he hopes that via the seminar, the international community could contribute ideas and views on the use of the internet to prevent the younger generation from being influenced by negative cultures.
"We will bring it (the Malaysian experience) over there. Absolute or 100 per cent freedom is unwarranted.
"There must be value and technical specifications. For example, children can't watch pornography, gamble, insult religion and the rulers. All this will be dscussed at the international seminar," he added.
