What is ACT114A?
ACT114A is a latest amendment that is added to the Malaysia's Evidence of Act 1950, it is also known as the "Internet Blackout Day", from my research towards this act. During my research, what I know about ACT114A is that, it's a new section of law that is made to control people that are using the social networks and our rights to speech out. It is also made for the onus on the accused online identity impersonation that is related to the libellous content from the internet. It covers accused blogs or forums, home or shared wi-fi, laptops, tablets or even smart phones.
Even the news of this new implementation is spreading rapidly through social networks, not many of us are really aware or care of this act, perhaps that time we do not know what this act is all about. ACT114A will definitely affect me, causing me unable to access social networks. It is my habit to access social networks such as Facebook, everyday. If this act limits my network access, I will not able to update or get the latest news, I will also cannot express myself. To me, to everyone who access social networks, the new ACT114A is an extremely serious matter, we will have a very very hard and tough time to access internet and update news if this act really legally implemented.

Just like my research. The term 'Internet Blackout Day' is the day where the internet is not a safe place for us-the internet users. Besides, it is also not safe for the others too, we find it really difficult to excess certain website like the social network or blogs that contain sensitive political issues.
