KUALA LUMPUR: A new law is being drafted for a “kill switch” that can immediately terminate online scam transactions, says Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.
“There is an urgent need to create by law to allow for a kill switch to stop scam activities on any online domains or platforms in Malaysia immediately. “Such a new law is needed in light of the fast-paced development of artificial intelligence and cybercrimes, which are on the rise. Many of our current laws were enacted before 2010 and are way behind.“And that is why we need to amend the law, not only substantively but also on procedure to help our government to deal with the problem we are facing today,” she added.
Presently, she said banks had put in place safeguards to prevent customers from falling victim to online scams.
