Three journalists and a webmaster. That was how malaysiakini began six years ago on Nov 20. Mind you, the lone webmaster - no, webmistress to be exact - was a 19-year-old teen.

The past six years have been truly a wild and rocky ride for us. To some people, we are nothing but traitors. To others, we are pesky homegrown Don Quixotes. Countless police reports have been made against malaysiakini . Not to mention, the infamous raid on our office two years ago.
