  • Reporters sans Frontieres (RSF) ranked Malaysia at No132 out of 173 countries in its press freedom index 2008 released yesterday. While this is a good showing, we could do even better if we try a little harder.

    By moving a mere 40 notches, we will be world champion at No 173. Then all the reporters - and not only editors - will be rewarded with a Datukship.
