MCMC ordered by the High Court to produce police instructions to block weechookeong.com
Whose interests are the MCMC acting for?
MCMC Chairman Salim Fateh Din
The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has been ordered by Justice Amarjeet Singh to hand over documented instructions by the police and any other correspondence relating to the blocking of access to weechookeong.com. Searches for the website on Google have also been suppressed, but the site is at the top of Yandex searches. This website is operated by former MP Wee Choo Keong, primarily exposing corruption in Malaysia. This site was blocked back around 25th July 2023, with no explanations from the MCMC.
Wee soon after being aware of its blockage filed an application for judicial review in the High Court. The High Court made the above ruling, requiring to the MCMC to disclose documents pertaining to weechookeong.com blocking in a discovery hearing. The MCMC has until 28th April to comply.

Exposing corruption and conflict of interest by MCMC chairman
Wee had exposed corruption within Tourism Malaysia concerning a company that received a contract to rent out advertising space at Malaysian Airports. Wee’s website was blocked very soon after police reports had been made against those involved in the scandal. Wee had been pursuing this issue for many months.
This is where coincidences start appearing. During much of the time Wee was exposing corruption related to the advertising space contract with Malaysian Airports (MAHB), Salim Fateh Din was a director of the corporation. He suddenly resigned on 23rd May 2023. Salim was also the chairman of the MCMC at that time.
Was Salim’s proximity to both organizations and Wee’s website blocking just a coincidence, or was there a real conflict of interest and abuse of power involved in the blocking of Wee’s website? Hopefully the documents from the MCMC will shed light on this serious issue.
The MCMC has gone overboard in website blocking and the pulling down of political comments on social media of late. This is going on without any transparency and accountability of the MCMC board of directors.

MCMC is subverting democracy, and covering up whistleblowers who are have genuine intentions in exposing corruption. The MCMC cannot become a private cyber police force, in the interests of  individuals, rather than the national interest.
Too much evidence is building up of complicity and conspiracy between the MCMC and police for the benefit of protecting individual interests.
Malaysia is quickly falling under control of elites with appointed positions within the bureaucracy. Salim’s stewardship of the MCMC will definitely play a role in the poor showing of Pakatan Harapan in the coming Kuala Kubu Baru byelection in Selangor. Political appointees to agencies and GLCs will be partly responsible for the collapse of UMNO and PKR in the next general election.

To so categorically state that Wee had "exposed corruption in Malaysia" is more than biased reporting apart from a demonstration of abject ignorance on the part of your blog.
Wee is not the mandated authority or the appropriate legal forum to determine the offence of corruption under Malaysia's legislation. He is merely a mouthpiece of an avaricious Chinese network of Malaysians who seek to dominate the peninsula, Sarawak and Sabah on behalf of themselves and foreign NGO's a part of the wider NED Regime Change network.
Wee's crusade is an extension of the nefarious activities of Chin Peng and his bloody men from an era gone by. To campaign for such an individual and his organized band of chauvinists as if they are some paragon of virtue when it comes to cleanliness and fair play by the rules is to bring your otherwise entertaining and sometimes independent blog and yourself into disrepute.
Never ceases to amaze how the finger is so readily pointed at one racial group when it comes to the use of the word or the accusation of the offence of "corruption". Yet history chronicals the culture of corruption in the entire southeast Asian region (See the Asian Godfathers by Cambridge researcher Joe Studwell, Malaysian Maverick by Barry Wain who I shared lunch with in Singapore shortly before he passed).
There are a myriad of others from former British residents, the former police chiefs of Hong Kong under Britain, governors of that island colony and more recently of course Rickard Borsuk and Nancy Chng's 'Liem Sioe Liong's Salim group', an impressive treatise on the Chinese culture of corruption and greed which like a cancer has disguised itself as a 'necessary element' for societies to function and prosper through.
Of course and assisting that culture are those porus legislative 'rules' and 'laws' prohibiting 'corruption' through lack of proper definition of the offense. Malaysia stands out like a pair of dogs balls when it comes to poorly drafted legislation even judges struggle with but never admit to.
Wonder if Manjit Singh the judge knows what he is actually doing. He is after all a Malaysian judge.
