RUU Jenayah Siber peruntuk kuasa sekat harta walaupun suspek belum dituduh
Perintah sekatan harta itu bagi mengelakkan aset seperti wang hasil penipuan dilesapkan.
The Cybercrime Prevention Act (RUU Jenayah Siber) is being amended to empower courts with the authority to issue asset seizure orders, even before suspects are formally charged, in order to prevent criminals from hiding or transferring stolen funds obtained through online fraud, particularly those using artificial intelligence. Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi stated that asset seizure orders are among several orders a court can issue to prevent or stop legal violations.
Other orders can include orders for victims to be compensated and orders for compliance. A request for such an order can be made by the plaintiff or a government officer with authority, according to Bernama, as reported in a written answer to the Dewan Rakyat. A request for such an order can be submitted by the plaintiff or a government officer with authority.
Zahid responded to the question of Shamshulkahar Deli (BN-Jempol) about the adequacy of the existing legal framework to address online AI-based fraud and the special provisions strengthened to expedite actions against syndicates and protect victims. Zahid said the RUU passed by Parliament in July last year was amended to address online AI-based fraud, including identity masking, deepfake, and digital manipulation.
