CANING OF WOMEN IN MALAYSIA. Malaysian Government further reins in media coverage


Now that the Star has shown a 'nauseating yellow streak', the new colour scheme as shown above may be more appropriate for their logo


Marina Mahathir decides to post her column on her blog after newspaper (The Star Malaysia) paper spikes her column


The Malaysia government reportedly has moved to restrict debate in the mainstream media on the caning of three Muslim women recently.


The country's largest English-Language newspaper (The Star) has refused to publish Marina Mahathir's regular column (Musings) on the issue of caning women.

An extract:


Folks, I'm posting here what should have been my Musings column tomorrow. The Star has refused to publish it because, after what happened to P. Gunasegaram's article which was pulled out after the Home Ministry gave them a show-cause letter, they don't want any 'sensitive' articles that may jeopardise their KDN permit.”


Timendi causa est nescire



Ignorance is the cause of fear




Ubi dubium ibi libertas



Where there is doubt, there is freedom
