Malaysia may introduce tough Internet laws to control bloggers and prevent them from spreading “disharmony, chaos, seditious material and lies” on their websites, a report has said.

Deputy Science and Technology Minister Kong Cho Ha said moves such as registering bloggers would be difficult, but accused some writers of posting controversial articles to attract readers.

“We are talking about creating cyber laws to control those who misuse the Internet,” Kong was quoted as saying in the Star newspaper.

“We need to have stricter cyber laws to prevent these bloggers from disseminating disharmony, chaos, seditious material and lies,” he said.

What??? Maybe the govt should mull sedition laws against politicians first before trying to silence the masses…
