What if netizens get it wrong?

SINGAPORE'S cyber communities are abuzz with speculation regarding the identity of the 'mystery' woman linked to the former SCDF and CNB chiefs, who are being investigated by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau.

But what if netizens get it wrong? Their online postings, if found to be untrue, could land them in trouble for defamation.

Lawyers told The New Paper that the rules of defamation apply to both online and mainstream outlets.

What if it was Najib in the sex video?

Some NGOs want to know why Pakatan Rakyat leaders are remaining silent on Anwar being implicated in a sex scandal and would they keep quiet if it was Najib Tun Razak.

PETALING JAYA: Would Pakatan Rakyat leaders remain silent if there was a video implicating Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak in a sex scandal?

This was a question an NGO popped up when referring to the latest video on Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.

The video snippet allegedly showed Anwar entering a hotel with businessman Shazryl Eskay Abdullah.

Commenting on the video, Coalition of Malay Students in Peninsular Malaysia (GPMS) secretary-general Zambri Mohd Isa criticised opposition supporters for practising double standard.
