SINGAPORE, June 18 (Bernama) -- Malaysia has proposed that the security systems
and ICT offences prevention methods be made uniform to ensure effective
implementation of laws related to ICT, said its Information, Communications and
Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.
According to Rais who is attending the Ministerial Forum on ICT at the Marina
Bay Sands Convention Centre, here, the international-level forum related to ICT
and the industry and the issues involved was something that was held seasonally.
He said Malaysia had taken part in the event with other countries a number of
times.
Rais said what he saw as an important issue for Malaysia this time was ICT
security including the offences prevention methods in the respective countries
should be made uniform to ensure authenticity and the countries'' sovereignty.
"I mention authenticity because many quarters are unsure of this. They assume
that the Internet, computers and online telecommunications technology are not
governed by law or linked to the security of the respective countries.
