Textual harassment

2008-09-10T19:07:00.000-07:00

Crank calls, hateful text messages, malicious slander on blogs, stolen pictures, naughty videos ... they seem like part and parcel of being connected digitally. Most of the time, we can just press the delete or block button, and shut out these harassments. At worst, the victims would just change their cellphone number, e-mail address or Facebook account.

Sometimes, such harassment can become more sinister.

No clear signs: Due to the convenience of the Internet, anyone around you could be a stalker and you wouldn’t even have a clue.

Recently, a 14-year-old girl in Johor Baru was blackmailed into having sex with a 19-year-old boy she had befriended via sms. On their first date, he took nude pictures of her and threatened to put them on the Internet unless she has sex with him. Her parents didn’t suspect anything was amiss until their daughter became pregnant.

Like most youngsters, the teenager probably did not dare report her plight for fear of getting into trouble with her parents and authority figures. Furthermore, they are not sure if 40 missed calls in a day or flirtatious sms-es can be construed as harassment.

Well, the police’s advice is this: If it makes you uncomfortable, report it.

On reporting incidents, deputy superintendent of police Mahfuz Abd Majid, a staff officer at the Internet crime investigation Unit, Commercial Crime Investigation Department of the Royal Malaysia Police, said that there is no official yardstick as to what constitutes harassment or stalking, but he advises victims to report such incidents.

“Lodge a police report if you feel threatened. And if you have a suspect in mind you must tell the officer about your suspicions,”

He said that in several cases, the victim had a very clear idea of who was sending nasty SMSes and e-mail, but feigned ignorance because they were embarrassed, mainly because most of the time, the perpetrator turned out to be someone they had had a personal relationship with.

Mahfuz explained that after lodging a police report, the authorities will sit down and talk to the claimant, and ask questions about your social circle, office, or place of study and your lifestyle.

“Normally people from a particular circle will use a certain lingo in their texts or e-mail messages, and from then on we can narrow it down to a specific group of people,” he explained.

“We observe events that occurred leading up to the point of time where the harassment begun as well, which helps us narrow down the list of suspects.”

When they finally have definite suspects, the police then pay them a visit, and confiscate their computer/phone for investigation.

Mahfuz has seen many cases involving crimes committed online and via cellphone, many of which involve cheating people off their money.

“The best you can do is to not disclose personal information about yourself to people you don’t know personally. Do not give out your phone number, address, or even your full name. There have been cases where regular Internet users have been cheated off thousands of ringgit because they trusted someone they met online.”

“It’s easier to cheat when you don’t have to look at a person’s face. The pitfalls in the telecommunications industry are now not only limited to working people, but youngsters as well, as most youths have access to the Internet and a cellphone.”

Mahfuz’s advice for youths everywhere is to not be too trusting. Ignore people you don’t know, and never divulge your personal information to strangers.

Lawyer Sonya Liew advises young people to first, be tolerant of comments that may appear on blogs or e-mail.

“If however, the comments are indecent, false, obscene, menacing or offensive in character, with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass, the comments may fall within the ambit of Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (S.233). If such is the case, a police report should be the order of the day,” says Liew.

Section 233 makes provisions for harassment in the online environment. According to this section, if in the event such acts are found to be offensive with the intent to annoy, such acts could be in violation of this section.

For example, if you receive e-mail or texts that are illicit or violent in nature, there is definitely something that can be done about it.

Liew points out that there is no Data Protection Act in Malaysia, which means that there are no laws to stop an entity from buying personal information from banks, credit card companies, departmental stores (through their membership card programmes) and even from our local doctors.

Such information could then be collated systematically to provide a personal social profile of an individual.

The Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Section 233) gives an explanation on the improper use of network facilities or network services.

It states that a person who uses network facilities for any comment, request, suggestion or other communication which is obscene, indecent, false, menacing or offensive in character with intent to annoy, abuse, threaten or harass another person is guilty of committing an offence. This includes instances where the perpetrator either reveals or does not reveal his identity and it doesn’t matter whether you respond or not.

To youths everywhere, if you encounter problems similar to Erica’s or Sara’s, you must first tell someone, and if the problem doesn’t go away and you feel threatened, make a police report.

Make sure you save all the evidence and hold nothing back during investigations, as this will aid the authorities in their investigations.

Mahfuz is optimistic about the decrease in crimes of this nature.

“Since the Government made prepaid SIM card registration compulsory, crimes involving the use of cellphones have decreased significantly,” said Mahfuz.

“When people are aware that there is a possibility that they will get caught, they are more reluctant to act on their intentions,” he added.

Easy access: Social networking sites are a lot of fun, but be wary of how much personal information you post on your profile. (is dat my laptop??... :P same design)

Took tis from Star Online..on d blog part..i found it quite similar to wat i encounter...if u all saw d comments i received, u wil noe...i hope dat 'dude' fela wil read this..wakaka!!

careful i report it to police for simply post some annoying comments..

Umno suspends Ahmad three years

2008-09-10T07:57:00.000-07:00

KUALA LUMPUR: Umno has suspended Bukit Bendera division chief Datuk Ahmad Ismail from the party for three years over his alleged racist comments.

He has been stripped of his division chief post and all its rights as a member. Thus, he cannot vote in the coming party elections, cannot contest for posts and will not be able to attend the Umno general assembly during the three-year period.

The suspension is effective immediately.

Prime Minister and Umno president Datuk Seri Abullah Ahmad Badawi announced the decision Wednesday after a special supreme council meeting convened specifically to discuss Ahmad’s case.

The action was taken in accordance with Section 20(9) of the party constitution.

“Many Umno supreme council members gave their views and we are of the opinion that Datuk Ahmad Ismail’s comments and actions have caused worry, protest and anger among Barisan Nasional,” he said.

During the Permatang Pauh by-election campaign, Ahmad caused a furore when he allegedly said the Chinese in the country were immigrants and squatters and thus did not deserve equal rights.

He refused to apologise or retract his statement. After a press conference on Monday, Ahmad’s supporters went to the extent of tearing up a poster of Gerakan acting president and Penang state Barisan chairman Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon.

This led to Penang Gerakan and Penang MCA severing ties with Penang Umno, and for Barisan Nasional to convene a supreme council meeting on Tuesday to discuss the issue.

At Tuesday’s meeting, Barisan component parties said they were unhappy with Ahmad’s comments and asked that Umno take “immediate and stern action” against him, which led to the special Umno supreme council meeting being convened.

When announcing the decision to suspend Ahmad, Abdullah -- also the Barisan chairman -- said the Umno supreme council also wanted other component parties to act sternly and take disciplinary action against their own members if they committed a similar offence.

“All components parties must be firm. If any of their members make comments which whip up racial sentiment and cause anger among the races, and which could jeopardise ties between Barisan component parties, they must take disciplinary action,” he said.

To a question, Abdullah said Ahmad had the right to appeal the supreme council decision.

Later, Umno secretary-general Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said the decision to suspend Ahmad unanimous.

After stopping 10 busloads of his supporters on their way to the Putra World Trade Centre where the supreme council meeting was being held, Ahmad said he would not retract his statements, but urged his supporters and all Malays to remain calm.

At a press conference, he said he accepted Umno supreme council’s decision to suspend him, but added he would “make a comeback.”

He accused Gerakan’s Dr Koh of “raising temperatures” on the issue of race relations.

Dr Koh was one of the many leaders who had asked Ahmad to apologise to the Chinese community.

He also denied that he had torn down a picture of Dr Koh at a press conference on Monday.

Abdullah also said that the Cabinet at its meeting Wednesday had discussed racial relations in the country.

“The Cabinet feels that racial tension may arise if sensitive issues are raised. The Cabinet has ordered ministries with laws pertaining to this to enforce them.

“If it is necessary, the ISA may be used on those who stoke racial tension,” he added.

I get this from Star Online...only 3 years suspension...zzz
stil haven apologise yet...wtf..
should expel him from UMNO like wat Gerakan said..
PUT HIM INTO ISA!!! like wat 'dude' fela told me...haha!!

Ringtones

2008-08-01T02:25:00.000-07:00

Been editing latest songs such as take a bow,bleeding love, better in time, one step at a time to make them into perfectly tuned ringtones d whole afternoon. This is bcoz i juz downloaded a software to done those jobs.

-----> http://www.nch.com.au/wavepad/ringtone.html <----- tis is d culprit bhind all my bz-ness d whole afternoon. Haha!! If u all wanna try it juz download it and hav fun~~!!!

After successfully edited d 1st song, Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis, the singer that is rumoured to b on par with Rihanna and Celine Dion in terms of their voice, I proudly transfer it into my handphone, a Nokia 6288. Tested it of course to hear how loud it would b. (Nokia 6288 cant produce a reasonably loud tone to enable me 2 hear my phone ringing in fairly noisy areas while other phone can. So need to make sure that the ringtone is loud enough. >.<'') Thankfully it passes my 'ear' standard. Haha!! Dun laugh at me plss..XD After that, wat else i can do more? SEARH MORE SONGS AND TRANSFORM THEM INTO RINGTONES OF COZ~~~!!!!!! WAKAKAKA!!!

While playing my newly found 'toys', my cousin allie came down and straight away i tell her abt my toy. I know she will b delighted to hear dat coz we r both attracted by those ringtones u c..so i giv her my 1st masterpiece. Guess wat, she said i edited it pretty well..(cheh...i know la..XD u all wont know my hidden talents...wakaka!!) So i allowed her to transfers my ringtones into her phone. (i get quite alot songs from her so these r a lil i repay her..XD)

So far produced about 10 'high quality' ringtones..they r my masterpieces u noe..mayb i can register a patent or copyrights for it..haha...so, if u guys wanna hav them, RM1 per ringtones la..market price is RM3 u noe..XD Moreover, u can ask me to edit it to perfectly suit ur style..wahaha...(frenz, after reading tis pls dun katok my kepala.. :P)

Anyway, stil new to d software though. Will try out every function in it soon to perfect my creations..1 ting for sure...my phone memory gonna deplete soon and u noe y..haha...Till now, ciaoz~
