Microsoft Corporation’s corporate vice – President Pamela S.Passman said that Malaysia should keep up-to-date with the latest cybercrime-related activities in order to deal with the current issues on Information and Communications Technology (ICT). Moreover, she advised Malaysia to invest on the law enforcement training to build up a legal infrastructure to serve as deterrent to cybercrime activities.


Malaysia has introduced an developed several cyber law which including :-Communication and multimedia Act, Computer Crimes Act, Digital Signature Act, Content Code, Copy Right Act and others that can be found in post 1.

However, as a computer internet user, I found that cyber law in Malaysia is totally incomplete. In this case, I would rate 2 out of 10 for the satisfaction toward Malaysia Cyber Law because Malaysia government does not really care about what the people do in the internet as long as it doesn’t concern serious criminal acts such as terrorism or creating riots. Cyber law in Malaysia can’t work because of the weak law enforcement and most likely there will be no criminal charges on the people who violated the laws. The other factors that made Malaysia vulnerable to internet crimes are because of the government body which are not able to stop other major crimes in Malaysia such as Free illegal Download. People will start to do these because they knew that the government wouldn’t care less.

In order to enforce the internet laws in Malaysia, the government has to start from the root of the problem such as banning all illegal cyber activities. Heavy punishment such as jail sentence and fines on the people who violated rules and regulations of the internet law will also help to reduce cybercrime activities. Last but not least, streaming application such as PPStream and free download website such as Limewire should be banned in Malaysia because it has fully violated the copyright and licensing law.
