LETTER | Terengganu's guidelines violate the right to freedom of expression and the right to culture for its people.

COMMENT | The recent elections signal the Malaysian people’s rejection of the continued suppression of free speech.

Article 19 is concerned that a new “advisory for group admins” released by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) attempts to co-opt social media users to censor third-party content which the government considers “inappropriate”. The MCMC advisory is a clear reminder to Internet users that they are expected to enforce Malaysia’s tough restrictions on freedom of expression online through private censorship.
