“This is not a criticism. It’s a call for action.” - Yong Soo Heong, president of Malaysian Press Institute, lamenting the inaction of the Malaysian Media Council, which was set up this year after a 40-year struggle
31/10/25: In his latest newspaper column, Datuk Yong, 70, urged his fellow journalists who helm the Malaysian Media Council to start speaking up and be relevant. Journalists in this country, such as Yong himself, spent decades to convince the government to form the Council. It would a shame if those who helm it now are content to keep quiet when there are so many issues affecting the media and its practitioners that needed to be championed.
