A wish come true :)

The new Evidence Act is sure a wish come true.

Now, it is up to the owners of blogs, websites and internet account to prove that they did not do it. That is, if someone logs onto your WIFI, uses it to defame Najib, it is your burden to proof you didn't write those comments. In the legal world, the burden of proof usually lies with the prosecutor. How, given this is Bolehland, and how that guy performed during his questioning of Dr. Porntip, it is no wonder they have to tilt the legal system to their favour.

The government states that the new law (or rather new amendments) will protect the victims. This is when I start to laugh out loud. I suspect these 'clowns' have forgotten their school days - or they went to very very boring schools.

But all is not lost. This is really the wish come true. Now now...imagine this (WARNING: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR AT YOUR WORKPLACE). If you must try it, you just need to learn how to change / clone your MAC address. The only way they (the account holder, the WIFI owner) can get you is by logging your MAC address.

1. Boss didn't give me a pay raise. Now, I will use his internet account at work, and write a sordid affair of some VVIPS and his driver & maids. Just sit back, and see my boss suffer, questioned by the police and even get thrown in jail. How on earth could he prove he didn't do it, I could not tell. All I have to do is, wait for him to be in the office, and publish the sordid sex stories that would even make Datuk Trio blush.
2. That supplier refused to pay you on time, or squeezed you hard on prices. OK la. Just wait for the next meeting you have at his premises. Most of the time, we can get internet access. Then, just use his internet line to flame and roast some politicians.
3. Your co-worker is a bitch. And your boss didn't give you a pay rise. What do you do? Start a few email accounts, pretend to be the bitch using the new email accounts, and write the most malicious stories you could ever think off. This is a double victory. You get to screw the bitch and your boss at the same go.
4. You have a food stall. You need to kill your competitor. Easy. Just go to his place, pretend to be a customer, and use his free WIFI for customers. Sit back, and wait for the legal system to strangle him. 

As you can see, this new law is open for abuse. It's just abuse in another form. Instead of anonymous forums, they can use other's WIFI / LAN and do the damage. Out of the pan, into the fire. That's exactly what it is.

As I have always said...the more the government tries to "protect" us, the worse it becomes. Got to go know. Have to collect some payment from my clients. I sure hope they pay up in full.
