We attended the workshop on Understanding Freedom of Expression, Hate Speech and Limitations—jointly organised by the Communication and Multimedia Content Forum of Malaysia, ARTICLE 19, the Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ), and Sinar Project.

This is an interesting and important topic, as everyone is keen to voice their views, whether online or offline—making it essential to understand both the rights and the limits of freedom of expression.

With every right and freedom, there are limits and boundaries.

Salam Maulidur Rasul

On this blessed occasion of Maulidur Rasul 1448H, we commemorate the birth of Prophet Muhammad — a model of compassion, integrity, wisdom and justice.

His life reminds us that true leadership is rooted in trust, responsibility, justice and service to others. These timeless values continue to guide us in how we conduct ourselves, serve our clients and uphold the responsibilities entrusted to us.

May this Maulidur Rasul inspire us to follow his example, embracing his teachings and reflecting his noble character in our daily lives.

Warmest Maulidur Rasul wishes from all of us at

AI — ARE WE READY?

AI is entering the workplace. Is your organisation ready for it?

The recent Astro AWANI and Sinar Harian report on KPTM Batu Pahat’s AI and digital transformation programme highlights an important development: organisations are no longer merely exploring AI — they are actively equipping their people to use it in their daily work.

We are particularly pleased to see this initiative delivered by PennaWrites Academy, which is
S**O’s affiliate specialising in knowledge development, professional training and capacity building.

For us at Sharen Alzalip & Co. (S**O), this development is particularly relevant.

As a TMT-focused law firm, we see AI adoption not only as a technology or productivity issue, but also as a matter of data protection, confidentiality, intellectual property, cybersecurity, accountability and responsible technology governance.

The real question is therefore not simply:

“Can our people use AI?”

But also:

“Can our organisation use AI responsibly, securely and within the law?”

This is why we believe AI skills and AI governance must develop together.

PennaWrites Academy focuses on empowering people with AI and digital skills.

S**O continues to focus on the legal and governance dimensions of technology.

Skills build capability. Governance builds trust.

🚨 BEWARE: Your online posts or messages could become "EXHIBIT A"! 🚨

Think deleting a post or a live stream saves you from a defamation suit? Think again! 📱⚡

Under Section 3 of the Defamation Act 1957, broadcasting words through telecommunications is treated as libel (publication in a permanent form). Even if you delete the content later, the act of publishing it to a third party has already occurred.

⚖️ Case Highlight: Teresa Kok Suh Sim v. Jamal bin Mohd Yunos [[2022] MLJU 2440]

Facts: The defendant held a press conference falsely claiming the plaintiff had misappropriated nearly RM2,000,000 from the Yayasan Warisan Anak Selangor welfare fund for personal use. The statements were broadcasted live on Facebook and YouTube, and later republished.

The Ruling: The court applied Section 3 of the Defamation Act, ruling that online publications are considered permanent form.

🔍 To prove online defamation, a plaintiff must establish:
1. The statement bears defamatory imputations.

2. The statement refers to the plaintiff.

3. The statement was published to a third party by the defendant.

💬 Think twice before hitting "Post" or "Go Live"!
