Wow, it's really something how emboldened governments are around the world to impose censorship. It's a worldwide effort. This must have been planned at the many secret meetings where governments collude with powerful corporations.
Neither Malaysia nor the US from where this fiction of democracy and freedom of expression derives has there ever been a free press. Free from what? Free of what? Free from Who? Free of who? or Free to do what, to Whom and what.
During the hey day of the Reformasi movement and the Bersih, anti Mahathir days leading to the anti UMNO campaigns fuelled by the Chinese in Malaysia, the "free press" consisted of US and British funded online rags and propaganda platforms. That included the Malaysian Bar and their publications.
These were such icons of "press freedoms" that they would censor or refuse to publish any contrarian opinion if it caught them out publishing rumour, propaganda and narratives devoid of fact.
So why is it now newsworthy to claim that you believe "this is the end of the "free" media in Malaysia"?
Each of those time wasting shallow so called "citizens media" platforms were self serving mainly Chinese and American funded rags. Good ridddance to bad rubbish.
I have said that propaganda, misinformation, and disinformation have always been part of political warfare. Social media and other new platforms have given it a new life and reach through which the fake news phenomenon can reach everywhere.
When asked why he allowed News Limited and Fox to write such untruths when they were meant to be news journals Rupert Murdoch responded "who told you we were news journals? We are in the business of entertainment".
Perhaps its time the Malays dominated the narratives in the media and not the Chinese, Indians or the non Malay non Muslims.
Everytime you write you go after Chinese. You are either a Chinese hater or paid sin contractor ie cybertrooper. One thing about people like you is you display just raw emotion with no credible argument. Then again what do you expect from a village idiot. Tun Mahathir have said it before. Malays vote base on raw emotion or party loyalty. If you paint the logo of the party on a piece of wood they will vote for the wood. This is not what I say but what he said. Who knows Malays better then The Malay Dilemma.
"anti Mahathir days leading to the anti UMNO campaigns fuelled by the Chinese"
Careful spewing your unhinged garbage, Gopher Chicken Korma, the "Chinese" love that Mamakthir and UMNO, without them it would have been difficult to do business with just making the corrupt "supremacists" happy by bribing them.
And it would have been different if Mamakthir and UMNO had been pillars of morality, refused to demand bribes and other freebies - which are all that those parasites exist for.
