Court ruling should not deter commentary, says Azmi Sharom


PUTRAJAYA: Law lecturer Azmi Sharom hopes that despite the Federal Court decision on Tuesday academics and individuals will continue to express their points of view in order to make Malaysia a "true democracy".

"I hope people continue to have a point of view and to express that point of view because we must not allow bad laws to frighten us," he said soon after the judgement was read.
