Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has voiced his disappointment with the RM100 fine imposed on a woman in the cyberbullying case of late Hindu rights activist and influencer A. Rajeswary, or Esha.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday (July 17), Fahmi said although he was dismayed by the fine's amount, he understood that the penalty was based on evidence gathered by the Attorney General's Chambers.
Fahmi also emphasised that the government needs to review the definition of cyberbullying and set the appropriate penalties for it, and noted that the fine would not be much of a deterrent, given that the offence had led to a person's death.
