What’s wrong with public voices?

The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) is entrusted with the role of promoting and regulating the communications and multimedia industry and to enforce the communications and multimedia laws in Malaysia. MCMC was established on 1 November 1998 pursuant to the provisions of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) had taken action for 11 websites that did not comply with rule and unqualified and until now as much as two case brought to the Attorney-General office to act further. Follow by individual law, who abuse Internet to spread the content behave false, threatening or ploy will be imposed action under 211 and 233 Communication Act and Multimedia 1998’s Section. If convicted, individual could be fined up to RM50, 000 or jail not over a year or both of them once. Apart from that, it also may sue under Sedition Act 1948, Defamation Act 1957 and Penal Code.
Although people are given the opportunity to voice out their voice and opinion, but supervising from the certain parties essentially bounded the right to voice out. It has a lot of advantage if supervise been practised but it must suitable with the human rights itself.
As citizens live in a democracy country, where is the real channel to voice out our opinion and views? And did restriction or freedom website is the one that has been practised in the democratic?
