PUTRAJAYA (March 7): The Communications and Multimedia Ministry (KKMM) is preparing a Cabinet paper on anti-cyberbullying laws, said its minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah.
He said while Malaysia has some legislation on cybersecurity, it does not have any specific law to deal with cyberbullying.
This was unlike neighbouring countries like Singapore and the Philippines, which have implemented anti-cyberbullying laws, he added.
“We better be prepared (with laws) because things can actually get worse (on cyberbullying),” he said in a press conference on the One-Year Malaysia Prihatin achievements of the ministry under the Perikatan Nasional (PN) government.
Last year, a teenage girl from Penang leapt to her death from a condominium, after her boyfriend threatened to upload her private photos on the social media platform.
ACTRESS Raja Ilya (

The actress, who now lives in Perth, Australia, said she rejected the offer because it was not in line with what she wanted.
“The part came with a good pay and it was produced by an established production company.
“However, I turned down the offer, ” she said without revealing the name of the series which would be aired on Netflix.
Raja Ilya, 35, said while she respected the views of others that such scenes were “works of art’’, she personally was uncomfortable taking on such roles.
