The Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588) is still required to address crimes in cyberspace, says Teo Nie Ching.

During Question Time in Parliament on Wednesday (Nov 13), the Deputy Communications Minister stated that the ministry hopes to present amendments to the Act in the current Dewan Rakyat session, which is scheduled to end on Dec 12.
