PETALING JAYA: Those who use the cyberspace to incite hatred or insult any race or religion or the monarchy, will soon find it increasingly difficult to hide behind the ‘mouse’.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said: “If we allow it to go unchecked, the attack on these pillars may jeopardise the safety of all Malaysians. It will then be too late if we act after a clash.
“We are not clamping or censoring the Internet. But when it comes to issues involving race, religion and our royalty, the Internet cannot be allowed to go on to de-stabilise the country and do whatever they like,” he said.
He added that three ministries, including his, plus the relevant agencies, including the police, the Attorney-General and Multimedia Commission personnel would meet and discuss this on Wednesday.
“What we are trying to do is to ensure that there are enough provisions for the authorities to take action, and not just the police,” he said yesterday after opening the Lembah Pantai Umno division meeting.
Hishammudin said a template would be created to protect the innocent and warned those who used the cyberspace to hide behind accusations that incite anger that action would be taken against them.
“We do not want the innocent to be prosecuted. For example, we did not take action against DAP’s Loke (DAP Socialist Youth head Anthony Loke Siew Fook) as he reported that the blog (which insulted Islam and Perak royalty) is not his,” he added.
On another note, Hishammuddin said they had yet to decide whether Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Musa Hassan’s contract would be renewed, adding that it was more important to ensure that the public accepted the police force.
“Whether it is extended for one year or not, to me it is not as important as getting the police force to be accepted in the minds of the public. And that is not just dependent on the position of one man,” he added. "
UMNO semakin menzahirkan sikap lidah bercabangnya. Sekejap Rais gesa kawal dan censor internet. Selepas masyarakat marah dan selepas mendapati ianya bercanggah dengan jaminan MSC bahawa intenet tidak akan di censor, Rais tarik balik kenyataan. Lepas tu Hishamuddin pulak nak kawal internet. Sebenarnya, bukan nak kawal internet. Bukan nak kawal web-web lucah Melayu. Tindakan penguatkuasaan undang-undang ke atas ribuan bohsia dan bohjan yang meng upload video klip lucah masing-masing tiada pun..
Tujuan sebenar UMNO nak halang masyarakat dari menulis apa-apa komen dan kritikan ke atas UMNO. Nak sekat kebebasan bersuara. Dah takut sangat lah tu..
Kalau UMNO nak sekat kebebasan bersuara dalam internet, UMNO patut hantar Hishamuddin dan Rais ke Myanmar untuk belajar dari jeneral-jeneral Myanmar kaedah menyekat suara rakyat.. Jangan tersilap hantar ke Monggolia pulak, tak balik pulak kang dua mamat nih..
Penggunaan internet tidak wajar disekat kerana ianya telah menjadi keperluan bagi pelbagai gulungan dalam konteks perkembangan era teknoloji global. Pemimpin-pemimpin perlulah peka dengan kepimpinan mereka dan rakyat setidak-tidaknya dapat menjadikan ruang internet untuk meluahkan komen atau justifikasi terhadap sesuatu isu. Sekatan bagaimana yang dimaksudkan biarlah tidak menjana kearah sentimen politik, dan kalau ia sekalipun internet adalah satu-satunya ruang bagi menyajikan juadah berita alternatif yang kurang mendapat slot melalui media arus perdana. Sekatan biarlah berpada asalkan tidak menjejaskan fokus rakyat kepada pembangunan semasa.
BalasPadam...kenapa??? Takutkan sesuatu ker... sampai nak sekat!!!
