There's hope, stop regressing, press on with reforms
COMMENT | The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) commemorates World Press Freedom Day (WPFD) 2025 by paying tribute to and honouring the tireless work of journalists and media workers.
CIJ acknowledges the mounting challenges they face in upholding a free and fair press that serves the public interest.
This year's WPFD theme, 'Reporting in the Brave New World - The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Press Freedom and the Media', resonates deeply with Malaysia's current media landscape.
Notably, Malaysia has shown some improvement in this year's Reporters Without Borders (RSF) World Press Freedom Index, rising to the 88th rank from last year's dismal ranking of 107.
While this progress is a welcome sign, it must not mask the systemic constraints that continue to inhibit media freedom in Malaysia, particularly in the face of...

Thai Commander: Over 400 protests filed against Cambodian border violations
BANGKOK: In a detailed Facebook post, Major General Nutt Sri-in, Deputy Commander of the 2nd Army Region, alleged that Cambodia has violated the 2000 MoU by advancing troops and digging trenches into Thai territory. He stated that Thai forces have exercised restraint and pursued peaceful negotiations, but warned that further unilateral action could escalate tensions. Maj Gen Nutt Sri-in, Deputy Commander of Thailand's 2nd Army Region, posted a detailed message on his personal Facebook page on Saturday (June 7), highlighting key historical and legal facts surrounding the Thai-Cambodian border dispute. He wrote: 'The Truth... 1. Thailand and Cambodia have long-standing border issues, primarily because the two sides rely on different historical maps. 2. The 1:200,000-scale map often referenced was produced as part of the Franco-Siam Treaties of 1904 and 1907. It is a rough-scale map with several discrepancies from the actual watershed line. 3. To address these differences, both countries agreed to establish the Joint Boundary Commission (JBC) to work together on producing an officially accepted border line and demarcation markers. 4. While the JBC carries out its work, a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2000 (commonly referred to as MOU43) provides guidelines for both sides. Notably, Article 5 prohibits any alteration of terrain that could impact the watershed boundary. - Photo: The Nation/ANN 5. In the past, Cambodia has consistently violated MOU43 by expanding communities, building casinos, and cultivating crops near the border—actions that damage the watershed. We have lodged more than 400 protests, but cooperation to resolve the issues has been minimal. Meanwhile, on our side, the area falls under national park status, so no such actions can be taken. 6. Before the burning of the Trimuk Pavilion on February 28, 2025, Cambodian troops were stationed no closer than 500 metres from the border. Our forces were similarly positioned. The area in between was a zone of peace, where both sides came and went, coordinated, and resolved issues through dialogue. 7. On February 28, 2025, Cambodia burned down the Trimuk Pavilion and advanced their forces to the alstonia scholaris tree, which intrudes approximately 150 metres into Thai sovereignty. They also dug a trench, destroyed the watershed, and violated MoU 43. 8. We have tried to resolve the issue peacefully, with patience and restraint. We have held negotiations many times, requesting the withdrawal of troops that encroached on Thai sovereignty, but Cambodia refused to pull back. Eventually, weapons were used on May 28, 2025. 9. Thai commanders at all levels have sought peaceful solutions, repeatedly negotiating for the withdrawal of troops from the encroached area. Cambodia claims those forces were already stationed there before MOU43, which is absolutely untrue. If troops had been there last year (August 2024), how could I have walked through that point to reach the Trimuk Pavilion? 10. Cambodia claims it is under aggression and that Thailand is not resolving the issue peacefully. They threaten to escalate the conflict to the International Court of Justice, saying it will bring closure. But how can there be closure? 11. Cambodia continues to reinforce troops and bring in weapons, attempting to extend control to other parts of the border that were previously unoccupied forest or hills. If we deploy forces to defend our sovereignty, it becomes a direct confrontation. For what purpose? 12. We have already agreed rules between our two sides. Wouldn't it be better to face each other openly and talk like men? If this goes to court, our children will end up adversaries forever. What good can come from that, if we still consider each other friends? - The Nation/ANN

CIJ urges fair probe into PSM over LGBT programme
CIJ executive director Wathshlah G Naidu said diverse and healthy discourse and debate is central to both freedom of expression and democracy. PETALING JAYA : The Centre for Independent Journalism has called for a fair inquiry into PSM after two of its members were summoned for questioning over a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) programme planned by the party's youth wing. CIJ executive director Wathshlah G Naidu said the group supports any event that allows people to freely discuss and share ideas and opinions in a safe space, especially when it does no direct harm to the public. She also said diverse and healthy discourse and debate is central to both freedom of expression and democracy. 'We call for this investigation to be conducted fairly and without biases, and follows the international three-part test of necessity, proportionality and legitimacy,' she said in a statement. 'These standards must especially be taken into account as this case is being investigated under broad and ambiguous laws – Section 298A of the Penal Code and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 – which are increasingly being weaponised to serve archaic values and political expediency.' Yesterday, Bukit Aman CID director Shuhaily Zain said the number of reports received on the event had risen from 21 to 188. Selangor police chief Hussein Omar Khan said the case is being investigated under Section 298A of the Penal Code for causing disharmony, hatred or ill will on the grounds of religion, and Section 233 of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 for the improper use of network facilities. Last week, religious affairs minister Na'im Mokhtar urged PSM to cancel its plans for the workshop, themed 'Pride Care: Queer Stories & Sexual Health Awareness'. He said such programmes, even if they were held behind closed doors, challenged societal norms and the religious values upheld by the majority.

Myanmar junta asks for time as govt extends temporary to June 30 as it needs time for reconstruction due to upcoming elections
People wait at a bus stop as rain falls in Yangon on May 25, 2025. -- Photo by Sai Aung MAIN / AFP PHNOM PENH (Bernama): The Myanmar government has extended the temporary ceasefire, which expired on Saturday, until June 30 to facilitate reconstruction and to prepare for the general elections. The Office of the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services said on Sunday that reconstruction of damaged government offices, public residences and transport facilities in the earthquake-affected areas is in progress. "The Tatmadaw (armed forces) extends the temporary ceasefire period from June 1 to 30, 2025 to facilitate rehabilitation and reconstruction activities in earthquake-affected areas. "To hold a free and fair multi-party democracy general election successfully, to serve the interest of the entire nation and people with greater acceleration, to achieve genuine and long-lasting peace and in view of peace and stability,' according to a statement posted on the Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services' website. The government plans to hold elections either at the end of this year or in January 2026. There was mounting regional pressure on the Myanmar government to extend the ceasefire to allow humanitarian aid to reach those impacted by the March 28 earthquake. In April, Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim held talks with military leader Senior General Min Aung Hlaing and the National Unity Government to pause the conflict on humanitarian grounds. In the just-concluded 46th Asean Summit in Kuala Lumpur from May 26 to 27, regional leaders also urged for an extended and expanded ceasefire to allow aid delivery without any hindrance and for peace to prevail nationwide. Nearly 3,700 people have lost their lives in the natural disaster and thousands were made homeless when the 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck on March 28. - Bernama
