Souce From
When internet was developed, a very large number of computers all connected together which allowed it became part of our life. Due to the reason that cyber threats and crime are very cheap and easy to create, as most of us today at least have basic computer knowledge, thus, internet could transform itself into an all pervading revolution which could be misused for criminal activities. Due to the anonymous nature of the internet, it is possible to engage into a variety of criminal activities in cyberspace. Hence, Cyber Law is needed among all the countries.

According to The Star on 6th January 2009, the report from Minister of Water, energy and Communications saying that the ministry had submitted more than 30 cyber crime cases to the Attorney Chambers in the last three years, the same was reported by Bernama. This fact alone is quite alarming.
SO, DO WE NEED A CYBER LAW TO CONTROL IT?
Yes, we do.

In my view, Cyber Law is important because it touches almost all aspects of activities on and concerning the Internet, the World Wide Web and Cyberspace. Whether we realize it or not, every activity of yours in Cyberspace will have some legal and Cyber legal perspectives. At every point of time, there are various Cyber Law issue involved. You may just ignore about it today because you feel that Cyber Law do not have any impact on your Cyber activities. But sooner or later, you will take note of Cyber Law is good for your own benefit.

So, Does Cyber Law concern you?
Yes, for sure!
