Gabriel Lam on Online Safety (Relief and Accountability) Bill
Enforcement must be accessible, as many victims of online harm may lack the legal literacy confidence or financial means to approach the Commissioner or file for redress. A centralised one-stop reporting channel that connects relevant agencies could make seeking help far less intimidating. MP Gabriel Lam made this suggestion in parliament on Wednesday (Nov 5). He also urged the government to examine the appeals framework carefully, pointing out that while finality provides efficiency, there is a risk that victims could still face repeat challenges. He stressed the need to safeguard due processes while sparing victims prolonged distress.
