[Saba Sports News] Malaysian badminton player Goh Jin Wei recently issued a clarification on social media, stating that her portrait rights had been stolen by a fake gambling website, which used her image to endorse their platform. She shared a receipt showing she had filed a report with the local police, hoping the public would not be misled. Portrait rights are an important personal right for citizens, and any unauthorized use of others’ portrait for commercial activities is illegal. Goh Jin Wei is a well-known Malaysian women’s badminton player who started playing badminton at a young age and was selected for the national team. She has achieved numerous successes in her career, including winning the World Junior Championships girls’ singles title, the Youth Olympic Games badminton girls’ singles gold medal, and the Southeast Asian Games women’s singles championship, making her a representative of the new generation in Malaysian badminton. The editor believes that in such situations, the infringed party should promptly secure evidence and seek recourse through legal channels. The public should enhance their ability to discern information, rely on official channels, and avoid trusting fake platforms. Cyberspace is not a lawless domain; only by strengthening legal awareness and smoothing rights protection channels can such infringements be effectively curbed, safeguarding personal rights and maintaining a clean online environment.
