Editorial

News Straits Times patted the government's back for its ‘out of the box' efforts to reform some of the more repressive and outdated laws and procedures, citing the removal of ‘race' from gov't forms and the proposed amendments to the ISA and Police Act as examples.

Berita Harian commented that the Selangor Sultan's admonishment for proposing to use Zakat funds to pay for state administrative costs can help to avoid misuse of the funds and defend the rights of Muslims.
