KUALA LUMPUR: Heavier penalties need to be meted out for cyberbullying, says home minister Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
While there is no specific law for cyberbullying in the country, Saifuddin said enforcement agencies should not take a light view of the matter.
Saifuddin said he met communications minister Fahmi Fadzil, law and institutional reform minister Azalina Othman Said and digital minister Gobind Singh Deo to discuss the issue yesterday, adding that the matter will be discussed at tomorrow’s Cabinet meeting.

We believe there should be legal actions under more stringent sections and acts. The government takes a serious view of cyberbullying, he told reporters here.If only a RM100 fine is imposed and the perpetrator leaves the court with a smug smile, it surely hurts the victims’ families.
A RM100 fine was imposed on a woman for the cyberbullying of TikTok influencer A Rajeswary, who reportedly took her own life.
P Shalini was slapped with the RM100 fine on Tuesday after pleading guilty to engaging in insulting behaviour with the intention of inciting anger and disrupting peace through her TikTok account.
The charge against her was framed under Section 14 of the Minor Offences Act 1955, which provides for a maximum fine of RM100.
Rajeswary, 29, was found dead at her home in Setapak, Kuala Lumpur, on July 5. The Hindu rights activist, also known as Esha, had filed a police report the day before against two people for allegedly harassing her on TikTok.
Fahmi told the Dewan Rakyat today that the government will examine the need for a future-proof new law to deal with cyberbullying, which he said must focus on changes in communication mediums in the future and also how best to suit current needs.
In a Bernama report, he said among the existing laws related to cyberbullying are Sections 503 and 509 of the Penal Code, which are criminally intimidating offences and words or gestures intended to humiliate a person’s honour; as well as Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which is improper use of network facilities or services. - FMT
