According to The Star online news (2016, September 1), Malaysia's first special cyber court is in operation to handle the increasing number of cyber offences. This cyber court would handle cyber offences such as bank fraud, hacking, defamation, cyber spying, online gambling, document falsification and pornography. Minister in Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Azalina Othman said the court is equipped with facilities to function as an e-court complete with technology-savvy judges and prosecutors. 27 judges have sent for training to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the technological tools involved in the courts. According to her, cyber courts will be set up in other states later.

" In my opinion, authorities need have a very clear direction on what type of cases will handle by this special cyber court as some cases may involve both online and offline offences. Judges, prosecutors and legal practitioners involved in the case must keep improving their Information Technology knowledge and expertise in computer forensic. Last but not least, Malaysia should strengthen the current cyber law to protect all online users from cyber crimes. "
