The ruling Barisan 2013 SCORES Nasional (BN) coalition made minor improvements to two existing laws affecting the press, but it also passed an amendment to another law that expanded liability for illegal internet content. PRESS STATUS The constitution guarantees freedom of expression under Article 10, but allows for a host of limitations to this right. Not Free The Sedition Act and harsh criminal defamation laws are regularly used to impose restrictions on the press and other critics of the government. Violations of these laws are punishable by several years in prison. In August 2012, PRESS FREEDOM SCORE a blogger and opposition politician was sentenced to three months in jail for contempt of court in connection with articles that were deemed to have defamed a government minister. An amendment (114A) to the Evidence Act 64 that took effect in July drew particular criticism from media freedom activists, as it made those who own, host, edit, or administer websites, blogs, and online forums liable for content published through their services, including LEGAL ENVIRONMENT seditious comments. Opposition to the amendment led to the designation of August 14, 2012, as “Internet Blackout Day,” in which a host of news websites, bloggers, and civil society organizations, including the highly 24 respected Malaysian Bar Council, pledged to either take down their websites for the day or support a pop-up POLITICAL ENVIRONMENT window to promote the Stop 114A campaign.

  • Selective Exposure to Berita Harian Online and Utusan Malaysia Online: the Roles of Surveillance Motivation, Website Usability and Website Attractiveness
    SEARCH: The Journal of the South East Asia Research centre ISSN 2229-872X for Communications and Humanities. Vol. 6 No. 2, 2014, pp 25-45 Selective Exposure to Berita Harian Online and Utusan Malaysia Online: The Roles of Surveillance Motivation, Website Usability and Website Attractiveness Nur Azimah Zulkafli Bahiyah Omar Nor Hazlina Hashim School of Communication, Universiti Sains Malaysia © The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access by Taylor’s Press. ABSTRACT News media allows audiences to be selective in determining both their news sources and type of news stories they read. This study examined factors influencing selective exposure to the online editions of two mainstream Malaysian newspapers, Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia. Using selective exposure theory as the theoretical lens, this study compared both newspapers in terms of their audiences’ level of surveillance motivation, and how audiences rate the newspapers’ websites with respect to usability and attractiveness. This study used a within-subject experimental research design that exposed 51 subjects to both Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia online newspapers. The results of the experiment indicate that Berita Harian and Utusan Malaysia online were significantly different in terms of website usability; however, no significant differences were found in terms of surveillance motivation or website attractiveness between the two newspapers. Further analysis indicate that the only significant predictor of selective exposure was website usability. This study highlights the importance of website usability for online newspapers wanting to harness audience selectivity. Keywords: Selective exposure, online newspapers, surveillance motivation, website usability, website attractiveness 1. INTRODUCTION News media began to have an online presence during the mid-1990s.

  • Rejuvenating the Shophouse: Conservation of Historical Buildings in Penang’S Unesco World Heritage Site
    Zahari Zubir et al., Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 2, No. 2 (2018) 335–346 REJUVENATING THE SHOPHOUSE: CONSERVATION OF HISTORICAL BUILDINGS IN PENANG’S UNESCO WORLD HERITAGE SITE ZAHARI ZUBIR, KOH JING HAO, NOR HAYATI HUSSAIN & PRINCE FAVIS ISIP School of Architecture, Building and Design, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. ABSTRACT Conservation of shophouses, the architectural heritage of the colonial past in Penang’s UNESCO World Heritage Site, is subjected to strict conservation regulations and guidelines imposed and en- forced by the local authority. The goal of the conservation effort is to add value to the dilapidated structures in order for them to remain relevant and economically viable while maintaining the his- torical essence of the site. Sadly, because of erroneous conservation treatments, many have failed to achieve the intended goals. This article explores the regulations and processes involved and the chal- lenges faced by building owners in conserving the shophouses. The significance of the study stem from the crucial need to deal with the issues involved in the conservation of heritage buildings within the rapid economic growth and transformation of Penang’s UNESCO World Heritage Site urban fabric. The study employs theoretical and analytical approaches as its methodology. This article dis- cusses the initiatives of three building owners in conserving shophouses into boutique hotel, museum and office, each originally of different purposes. Each of them applied adaptive reuse conservation strategy, with similar intention of rehabilitating the buildings for a more viable and current usage while maintaining their historical value and character. This article will serve as a reference for the local authorities, architects, designers, conservators and the public when embarking on projects of a similar nature in the future.

    MIC’s loss is MCA’s gain after Najib’s Cabinet reshuffle The Malaysian Insider July 28, 2015 The Cabinet reshuffle today gave the MCA an additional ministerial post but MIC lost one. The MCA also got another deputy minister post. MCA secretary-general Datuk Seri Ong Ka Chuan was appointed second International Trade and Industry Minister while Youth chief Chong Sin Woon was made Deputy Education Minister. Prior to this appointment, Ong, who is the Member of Parliament for Tanjung Malim, had served a stint as the Housing and Local Governments Minister from March 2008 to April 2009 during Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's administration. Former MIC president Datuk Seri G. Palanivel was dropped, leaving acting MIC president Datuk Seri S. Subramainiam the sole MIC representative in the new Cabinet line-up. With the latest line-up, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's administration now has three full ministers and three deputy ministers from MCA. They are party president Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai (Transport Minister) and deputy president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong (Minister in the Prime Minister's Department), and Ong. The other two deputy ministers from MCA,besides Chong,are deputy finance minister Datuk Chua Tee Yong and deputy International Trade and Industry minister Datuk Lee Chee Leong. – Bernama, July 28, 2015.

  • Newspaper Sales Dip Post-GE13 Malaysiakini.Com Sept 29, 2013
    Newspaper sales dip post-GE13 MalaysiaKini.com Sept 29, 2013 The readership of top newspapers in the country tumbled in the run up to the 13th general election over reporting perceived as biased. According to The Edge Weekly, which obtained the Consumer and Media View report by Nielsen, newspapers saw a drop of between 10 percent to 40 percent in readership during the second quarter of this year. This coincided with the 13th general election period when Parliament was dissolved on April 3 and polling day was on May 5. "The decline is mainly due to the 13th general election,"The Edge Weekly quoted Omnicom Media Group Malaysia chief executive officer Andreas Vogiatzakis as saying. He was further quoted as saying that readers sought alternative news between March to May this year with a 60 percent surge in online traffic for political news sites and 20 percent increase for news websites in general.

HC Not Available from EDPS. DESCRIPTORS *Broadcast Industry; *Chinese;:idhinese Culture; *History; *Mass Media; News Media; *Newspapers; News 'Reporting; Periodicals; Publications; Radio; Television IDENTIFIERS *Malaysia ABSTRACT The traditions of the Chinese press in Malaysia go back 160 years to Malaysia's first Chinese-language newspaper, considered by.scholars as the first modern periodical anywhere. Since then, this press has aided Christian missionary efforts in China and Southeast Asia, helped develop permanent Chinese communities in the Malay peninsula, called for both reformist and revolutionary movements in China, fought against the Japanese during World War and supported the formation of a Malaysian state--all thewhile trying to retain valuable aspects of Chinese culture. Currently, the Malaysian Chinese community is served by 26 newspapers (23 are dailies), a few local magazihes, a Chinese section of Radio Malaysia, and a daily Chinese newscast and limited drama ontelevision. Readership of Chinese papers is the highest of any ethnic press in the couhtty. In the future, most of the Chinese papers, falling under the ownership of Alliance government parties, will have to report according to government standards and, while Chinese broadcastscould be diminished because of language restrictions, it would be a long time before Chinese would be discarded as a broadcast language.
