Media freedom in Malaysia: Rhetoric or reality?
His words resonated with the ideals of press liberty, echoing the philosophies of Noam Chomsky and Thomas Jefferson on the perils of 'manufacturing consent' and 'tyranny of the majority'.
But beyond the grandeur of the podium and the eloquence of democratic aspirations, one must ask: Is there real media freedom in Malaysia? Or is it still a freedom carefully rationed, enjoyed only within the invisible lines drawn by power?

BN-PH pact likely to continue for GE16, but may change after that, says Zahid
Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said BN is firm on continuing its alliance with PH in the run-up to the next nationwide polls despite calls for it to go solo. PETALING JAYA : While Barisan Nasional plans to continue its alliance with Pakatan Harapan in the next general election (GE16), BN chairman Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says its strategies for elections after that may change. Zahid, the Umno president, acknowledged that there were calls for BN to contest in GE16 on its own, but said the coalition is firm on continuing its alliance with PH. However, he said BN's political strategies for the general elections that follow will be determined by the electoral performance of the parties in the alliance, Berita Harian reported. 'We do not know how many seats we will have, and how many seats they will have. 'Remember that, in Malaysia, differences in views are conventionally based on differing party 'colours'. We are willing to forget our different 'colours' for the sake of political stability,' he was quoted as saying. The Umno-led BN played a crucial role in enabling Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim to form the unity government in the wake of the 2022 general election, which resulted in a hung Parliament. PH had won 81 parliamentary seats while BN won 30, in what was the latter's worst electoral performance to date.

Umno to investigate whether its members joined Turun Anwar rally
Ahmad Maslan said the government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim remained stable with a sizeable majority in Parliament. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Umno will look into allegations that some party members took part in the Turun Anwar rally in Kuala Lumpur today, says Supreme Council member Ahmad Maslan. He said the party would wait for a full report before taking action. 'I will need to review these allegations, and the Umno headquarters will look into it and decide on them,' Sinar Harian reported him as saying at the Bagan Serai delegates' meeting in Perak today. Ahmad, who is deputy works minister, said the government led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim remains stable with a sizeable majority in Parliament. 'People may question us if our support goes as low as 113 seats. But we have 153. Even if 10 people go, we still have 143. So why do we need to take down the prime minister? He has strong support and the economy is developing well,' he said. (A total of 112 seats is enough for a simple majority in the 222-member Dewan Rakyat). Ahmad said the rally today had tarnished Malaysia's international image, making it seem as if the country is in turmoil. The Turun Anwar rally was attended by about 18,000 people, according to a police estimate, while the rally organisers, PAS Youth, claimed there were over 200,000 participants.

Govt will take follow-up action on royal addendum, says Zahid
A royal addendum to a pardons board decision on Najib Razak's sentence is currently the subject of a case before the Federal Court. PETALING JAYA : The government will follow-up on a royal order allowing former prime minister Najib Razak to serve the remainder of his prison sentence under house arrest, says deputy prime minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Efforts to act on the matter according to legal procedures will be made as fast as possible, 'but it depends heavily on the powers of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, which we must all respect,' he told Kangar Umno members at their delegates meeting today in Perlis. He said he has discussed the matter in detail with Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, according to a Harian Metro report. Zahid said the legal process would also involve the pardons board, as the king presides over board meetings. Najib is serving a 12-year jail sentence in Kajang prison after being convicted in 2022 of misappropriating RM42 million belonging to SRC International Sdn Bhd. He later applied for a pardon, with the Federal Territories Pardons Board reducing his prison sentence from 12 years to six, and a RM210 million fine to RM50 million. The former prime minister later took the government to court for action to reveal the existence of a royal addendum to the pardons board decision, and to enforce the order allowing him to serve the remainder of his jail sentence under house arrest. The royal addendum is now the subject of an appeal by the government which is being heard by the Federal Court.
