Dogged by fraud claims, Malaysia targets media
Investigative reporting on alleged mismanagement of a Malaysian state investment fund has triggered a backlash against muckraking media. On Friday, the Home Ministry ordered the suspension of two local news publications,
The Edge Weekly
and
The Edge Financial Daily
, for three months on the grounds that their reporting on the fund, known as 1MDB, had prejudiced public order, security, and national interests, according to news reports.
