‘RM100 fine since there’s no specific law for cyberbullying’


PETALING JAYA: A mere RM100 penalty was imposed on a woman who committed communication offences linked to the death of Hindu rights activist Esha because there is no specific law for cyberbullying in the country, say NGOs and lawyers.

Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO) co-founder Ivy Josiah said it came as a shock that a RM100 fine was imposed on someone found guilty of having contributed to Esha’s death.
