"Barang siapa yang menyalahi peruntukan di bawah akta berkenaan, tidak boleh terlepas daripada cengkaman undang-undang," katanya kepada Bernama selepas upacara penyampaian Anugerah The World Telecommunication Information Society Award 2010 di Shanghai World Expo di sini semalam.
Beliau berkata, antara kesalahan yang boleh dikenakan tindakan termasuk berjudi di Internet, pornografi kanak-kanak ataupun biasa, terorisme, menipu, menghasut dan lain-lain jenayah siber.
Mengenai inisiatif akses tanpa wayar di seluruh Lembah Klang, Rais berkata, langkah itu ditunjangi oleh Telekom Malaysia dengan sokongan Suruhanjaya Komunikasi Multimedia Malaysia.
Kelajuan Internet di kawasan Lembah Klang yang meliputi Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya, Kelang dan tempat lain kini sudah mencapai 10 mbps.
"Cuma daripada segi pandangan rakyat, kosnya serta konsistensi kelajuan serta mutunya perlu dipertimbangkan supaya rakyat merasakan ini bukan sesuatu yang mahal tetapi merupakan infrastruktur yang sama seperti jalan, lampu dan lain-lain," katanya. - BERNAMA
Rosmah: Timely to set up Women's Chamber of Commerce

KUALA LUMPUR: It is timely to set up a Women’s Chamber of Commerce in every country to give impetus to the various initiatives for women entrepreneurs, said Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.
The Prime Minister’s wife said the chamber would also ensure that women’s voices are better articulated and heard, especially with Malaysia’s New Economic Model (NEM).
“All over the world nowadays, in the past decade or so, more and more women are engaging in business either as owners or leaders of companies or corporations.
Warm welcome: Rosmah arriving at the forum in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
“Women entrepreneurs in the 21st century are becoming important drivers of economic growth with 40% to 50% of businesses being owned by them,” said Rosmah in her speech on Capitalising Women’s Potential in Business at the pre-forum of the Sixth World Islamic Economic Forum (WIEF) here yesterday.
Also present was WIEF chairman, former deputy prime minister Tun Musa Hitam.
Rosmah urged Malaysian women entrepreneurs in particular to unite through industry associations to better represent their common interests, share information and provide mentoring to budding businesswomen.
She also advised businesswomen to capitalise on e-commerce and online trading, reaching out to potential customers while still being able to give attention and care to the family.
“Indeed the opportunities for women to capitalise on and contribute to the NEM are boundless. With our ideas, talent and capital, we can support the Government’s efforts to re-energise the private sector,” she said.
The WIEF is an annual event bringing international business leaders from the Muslim world to meet and network.

Muhyiddin: Brain drain hurting Muslim nationsBy LESTER KONG and NELSON BENJAMIN
newsdesk@thestar.com.my
KUALA LUMPUR: The brain drain from Muslim countries to developed nations is hampering the competitiveness of their economies, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
“To reverse the brain drain, we need to create the right liberal ecosystem to stimulate creativity and put in a fair reward system to encourage hard work in our societies,” he said when opening the Pre-Forum and Exhibition of the 6th World Islamic Economic Forum yesterday.
Muhyiddin said modern developed countries had designed their immigration laws to attract intellectuals and professionals to add value to their economies.
“They have succeeded with various 'pull factors' such as an intellectually stimulating environment and effective reward and recognition system,” he said.
He added “push factors” such as lack of intellectual liberties and fair economic opportunities in some Muslims countries played a part in the brain drain.
Muhyiddin also said there was a need to establish systems that enabled the women and youth of the Muslim world to prosper in business.
In Johor Baru later at night, Muhyiddin said the Education Ministry had identified six strategies to improve sports programmes and development in schools.
The strategies included providing increased financial aid for sports to schools in future; ensuring the compulsory participation of students in sporting activities, implementing sports programmes all year around and establishing an independent sports division in the states, districts and schools.
Muhyiddin said this in his speech at the launch of the 52nd Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) games.
Gagasan 1Malaysia selari dengan prinsip Islam
Najib Tun Razak bersalaman dengan Prof. Dr. Ali Al-Amin Mazrui diperhatikan Johan Jaaffar (kiri) pada Majlis Syarahan Perdana Putrajaya di Pusat Konvensyen Antarabangsa di Putrajaya, semalam.
PUTRAJAYA 18 Mei - Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak berkata, gagasan 1Malaysia yang diperkenalkan di bawah pentadbirannya selari dengan prinsip-prinsip Islam.
Perdana Menteri berkata, ini termasuk prinsip toleransi dan keadilan sosial serta penerimaan kepada kewujudan pelbagai kaum di negara ini.
Beliau yang mengikuti Syarahan Perdana Putrajaya bertajuk Abad Islam: Mitos atau Realiti yang disampaikan oleh Prof. Dr. Ali Al'Amin Mazrui berkata, pembentangan oleh intelektual Islam tentang prinsip-prinsip Islam ternyata selari dengan gagasan 1Malaysia.
''Saya amat tertarik dengan syarahan Dr. Ali Al'Amin Mazrui.
''Beliau juga memetik sepotong ayat al-Quran (maksudnya) Allah menjadikan manusia dalam kelompok, kabilah dan negara supaya kita mengenali antara satu sama lain, bezanya cuma dari segi ketakwaan kepada Allah," katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas mengikuti syarahan berkenaan di Pusat Konvensyen Antarabangsa Putrajaya (PICC) di sini hari ini.
Syarahan yang julung kali diadakan itu merupakan cetusan idea Perdana Menteri sendiri.
Dr. Ali Al'Amin,77, berasal dari Kenya merupakan Pengarah Institut Kajian Kebudayaan Global dan Profesor Albert Schweitzer dalam Kemanusiaan, Universiti Binghamton, Amerika Syarikat (AS).
Hadir sama Pengerusi Media Prima, Datuk Johan Jaaffar.
Perdana Menteri berkata, petikan ayat al-Quran dari Surah al-Hujurat ayat 13 itu menuntut supaya manusia mengamalkan kepimpinan dan cara hidup yang menghargai setiap yang dijadikan Allah iaitu kewujudan kepelbagaian budaya dan kaum.
Dalam hal ini beliau berkata, , sebenarnya Islam dan tamadunnya telah memberi banyak sumbangan kepada dunia malah mendahului negara-negara Barat dalam beberapa aspek.
Katanya, perkembangan yang dilakukan oleh negara Barat antaranya keadilan sosial telah diamalkan lebih dahulu oleh Islam.
''Begitu juga dalam soal pemisahan sosial di AS termasuk melibatkan gereja-gereja mereka (sedangkan) dalam Islam sejak zaman Rasulullah tidak ada perbezaan dari segi kaum dan kabilah.
''Dari segi kedudukan wanita dan beberapa aspek lain telah mendahului negara-negara Barat," katanya.
