Senator Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi calls for action against bloggers because they make disparaging remarks against leaders

A Senator today called for stern action against bloggers who he described as “arrogant and bold” when making disparaging remarks against leaders.
“The lack of a specific act to supervise bloggers gave them the space to spread lies which touch the sensitivity of the community. It can become a threat to peace,” said Senator Dr Mohd Puad Zarkashi when debating the Electronic Government Activities Bill 2007 in the Dewan Negara.
