Blogs are basically a medium used by individual to express their thoughts and opinions. The freedom of expressing the thoughts and opinions is provided under article 10(1) of the Federal Constitution of Malaysia. If these rights are abused, it can lead to offences such as defamation, sedition and copyright infringement. As such, this research analyses the rights, limitations and liabilities of a blogger in the vicinities of the law such as the law of defamation, sedition, copyright and freedom of speech and expression and the need for legislative interference in blogging activities.
