| description | The infringement of privacy is a rising phenomenon, which is only accelerated as
technology advances. This article provides a critical review of the concept of right
to privacy, the cases involving deterioration of privacy due to technology and the
legal position in reference to its violation. It has become evident that at present,
Malaysia's response to such infringements and violations is far from satisfactory
and leaves much to be desired. This article argues that Malaysian law, with
regard to privacy protection, is below the acceptable standard. This is in contrast
to many developed, democratic countries such as the United States, which have
placed more emphasis in developing their privacy laws and policies. It is hoped
that this article can highlight the lacunae in Malaysian privacy law and put to the
fore the consequences that will ensue as a result of the law's failure in
safeguarding privacy. It concludes by emphasising the need to legislate better
laws to adequately address the magnitude of problems concerning the derogation
of privacy and providing suggestions as to the steps need to be taken in order to
ensure that the right to privacy is protected and upheld |
