It can be frustrating when a laptop takes a long time to boot up, but you can easily cut the time with a few simple steps.

PETALING JAYA: A working group representing Malaysian publishers and editors have prepared a draft bill to create the country’s first media council, and the proposal is now open for public feedback.

The draft bill was in response to the government’s call for a media council to be established so that the industry can regulate itself and at the same time, do away with restrictive media laws such as the Printing Presses and Publications Act.
