Focus on developing Malaysia, not restricting freedom of speech

ARTICLE 10(1)(a) of the Federal Constitution guarantees every Malaysian citizen the right to freedom of speech and expression. This constitutional right ensures that all citizens have the freedom to voice their opinions and share their thoughts.

However, this fundamental right seems to be under threat. Recently, several prominent figures and political analysts have faced pressure following their statements or content shared on social media, particularly when discussing issues related to government policies.
