PETALING JAYA: The implementation of the proposed law on procedures and enforcement of a “ kill switch ” to enhance cybersecurity must strike a balance between privacy and civil liberties, say experts and lawmakers.
Siraj said such measures are essential in our increasingly digital world where cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated and pervasive. He said implementing a “kill switch” could help mitigate the damage caused by cyber-attacks, ensuring that our national security, economy and public safety are safeguarded.
Siraj said MCCA would support any policy that strengthens the country’s national cybersecurity landscape. He said as an MP, he is concerned that the proposal to amend sections of the Criminal Procedure Code and Penal Code might be used by the current government to silence critics. “The question is whether whatever law is being proposed, whether it has enough safeguards, that we will only know once we see the proposed draft,” he said.
“Most of the accounts are critical of the government, which raises issues on governance, economic performance and others deemed sensitive to the image and credibility of the government.
