Cyber crimes. We hear that all the time. Fact is we get all these emails that could lead to fraud, too, most of the time. So what does constitute cyber crime? In this age of wired information, I managed to get to a document posted on the Royal Malaysian Police website. Now, this source should be credible right?
Written by Supt.Lim Hong Shuan, the document goes on to list Cyber Crime as prescribed by the Computer Crimes Act of 1997, Digital Signature act of 1997, and the Telemedicine act of 1997.
What the act outlines and the provisions of each of this act, I cannot get hold of.
But this much I can tell you.
A fellow Malaysian Blogger has been detained since 13th of July 2007 right here in the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. Whats even more interesting is that the team of three law enforcement officers claimed they were from the Federal Unit, Bukit Aman, only to be found out later that Nat (www.jelas.info) was held for investigation in the district headquarters of Dang Wangi.
Details are sketchy, but I have saw Nat's picture, he is not a gangster, and I do not know him to be a criminal either. Heck, he looks more like a librarian! But do visit these sites for more info, Nat is in a circle of friends that work tirelessly to give readers their true account of daily happennings.
Perhaps, it could be one of their stories that has landed him in this predicament.
But since when reporting is a crime? Oooops, does this mean that I am committing one now?
Your guess is as good as mine....You see, you really DON'T have to do much to get into trouble!
