The milestone of blogs and bloggers in Malaysia
Abstract
In this era of technology, paper-based media is diffident. With the advent of blogs people are also to liberally express themselves across the borders at zero cost. Freedom of expression is constitutional right with a limitation. This paper identifies the liabilities faced by blogger under existing Malaysia laws, determines the loopholes, if any, in these legislations and proposes ways in which blogs and bloggers can be regulated in Malaysia. In the course of doing this, a curious issue arises and is answered, that is, whether bloggers in Malaysia are regarded as journalists.
