One problem that many people face in Malaysia is Piracy. In BBC News, It has been reported that at least 70% of the CDs are sold illegal and are fake.
"Two billion pirated music CDs are sold every year, according to figures from the recording industry and the major record labels and film studios are increasingly worried about the impact of piracy on their business."
Oh... my... banana... 2 Billion CDS! That's like if we stack it up we could make a building as tall as a house. or even taller :O. Taller than a Skyscraper even.
This really shows why Piracy is a huge problem in Malaysia.
In today's society it is very easy to find CDs like this in Malaysia. In many streets you will see a lot of stalls that sells alot of CDs. There is many police raids but many people do not get fined as hard.
"One of the teenagers behind a stall said he had been raided many times by the police.
The police took his CDs away and took him to court but he got a fine of only 100 ringgits."
This is a quote that BBC News got from a boy in Malaysia. 100 ringgits. I think if I went to Nando's and ate I probably already finish 100 rm. This shows how unhard the punishments are.
There are a lot of Differences about the laws in Malaysia and other Countries.
In a discussion today we are told that in Australia there is no Death Penalties but in Malaysia there is. This is probably because Malaysia is little or more so based on Sharia Law which is based on Islam.
Another difference is that Malaysia is able to keep someone in a prison for at least 2 years without giving a reason while other countries can only keep it for a few weeks and that's it. That shows a lot of difference in other Countries Law System compared to Malaysians.
