Khairy calls for revision of recently amended Evidence Act 1950



KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 11 — Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin urged the government to revise the recently amended Evidence Act of 1950.
Saying there was still room for improvement to ensure the freedom of website hosts and owners, he added," The provisions referred to relate to the freedom and accountability of web operators."
"I have raised the issue of the burden of proof to the Attorney-General and Minister in Prime Minister's Department Datuk Nazri Aziz, for the government's consideration," he told reporters at the 1Malaysia Perdana Tadarus and Khatam Al-Quran at the As-Syakirin mosque, here today.
He was commenting on a text message from Higher Education deputy minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah which stated that the Act still had some flaws.
The Evidence Bill (Amendment) (No.2) 2012 amended Article 2 to replace it with a new and more comprehensive definition of Computer, in line with the definition contained in the Computer Crimes Act 1997.
Article 3 of the Bill included a new section, 11 4A, to enable the courts to make an assumption of facts in cases involving internet publishing. — Bernama
