Time for new age reform leaders to take risks
Right now, the story the government is telling us is really a bit boring. It lacks the fire of the days when they were calling for reform.

You ask a dumb question, you get embarrassed, you go home, you read a bit more, and maybe talk to some other people, and next time, you ask a better question.
Aside from policies and practices, the social environment journalists work in can affect and influence our press freedom standing as well.
The process of talking can take a long time. It takes some effort to explain things and, it takes even more effort to try to understand things that we don’t understand.
Despite the fact that Malaysia’s press freedom index has dropped, I still think there is hope. Don’t give excuses or defensive deflection. Just tell us what the government is going to do to improve.
I might even go as far as to suggest that maybe Finas is no longer relevant today.
Wait? What? This backdoor government now wants to keep the AUKU Act which prevents university and college students from being involved in politics?
Looks like Fat Bidin was discussed in Parliament! Communications and Multimedia Minister Saifuddin Abdullah paid a bit of attention to our suggestions on how to amend the Finas Act 1981.
I would like to offer my services. Give me a ping on my email. It’s zanazlee@gmail.com
I think we have reason to question the intentions of the categories and definitions of fake news that the government has released.
