A picture may paint a thousand words but a photo can cause someone’s downfall.
With the advent of technology, everyone is at risk of being a victim and having his privacy invaded. Sadly, our laws are inadequate in dealing with these breaches of privacy.
Those who abuse the technology can get away with their crime easily and existing laws are too general or lenient, says the Malaysian Bar Council.
The law is so inadequate that the council has resorted to appealing to the public to take personal responsibility to delete information and materials that infringe on individual privacy to curb the crime.
Many past cases and the recent case involving Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Elizabeth Wong have proven how inadequate our laws are in protecting us from getting our privacy violated.
