(KPL) Lawmakers yesterday approved a law on cyber crime following several hours of discussion. The law was introduced yesterday morning to the 9th Ordinary Session of the National Assembly (7th legislature) by the Deputy Minister of Post and Telecommunications Thansamay Kommasith.
"It was necessary to make this law because computer systems play an important role in the society as today’s electronic media has a significant influence on people in the country as well as on socio-economic development," said Mr Thansamay adding that putting in place the law to prevent cybercrime would create more favourable conditions for the protection of databases, server systems, and computerised information.
