Journalist urged to take action against The Heat's suspension
- 9 years ago
Malaysiakini editor-in-chief Steven Gan said journalists themselves were partly to be blamed over the lack of press freedom in the country and called on them to take action against The Heat's suspension this time around.
He added that a strong opposition, a vibrant civil society and an independent media were the three key ingredients to "change" but the last element was evidently missing.
Gan pointed out that the opposition had boosted its parliamentary seats five fold to 89 since the 1999 general election while forces such as Bersih and Hindraf had emerged in the civil society.
